Published by DC Comics in 1959.  Cover by Jack Kirby & Marvin Stein.  Interior art by Jack Kirby & Wally Wood.  Plot by Jack Kirby.  "The Beasts from Planet 9" and "The Isle of No Return".

A very appealing cover with no major flaws.  The cover reflects light well (with 70% or more of original gloss) and has strong dark coloring.  The most noticeable flaw is the "No 1" inked in above the hand holding the net.  There is minor color breaking creasing and general non-color breaking creasing (see below for Definition of a Crease), but relatively little wear or scuffing.  The spine has a series of visible stress marks.  The back cover has a four inch tear running perpendicular from the spine.  General light soiling on the front and back covers, though the whites of the cover art come through nicely.  Interior pages are very supple and off-white to a light tan at the edges with strong colors to the story panels .  The staples are extremely well placed and the cover nicely cut with color extending nearly all the way to the spine, though the spine line is slightly askew from the spine.  The cover is nicely attached to both staples.  The cover's edges are very slightly creased at the top.  The corners are slightly rounded and there is a slight tear at the top left corner at the spine.  The book lies relatively flat with 2 of the corners rising 3 to 4 millimeters.  The book is complete with all pages securely attached with no interior tears or rips except the corner tips of the pages for the second story have been torn off and there are some very tiny tears at the edge of some of the pages (all relatively minor flaws).  A number of flaws, but still a very appealing book which displays and reads well!
 
Batman is our favorite comic hero.  As Challengers of the Unknown resemble Batman broken up into four heroes, it was natural to like their series as well.  Like Batman they have no superpowers, leaving them to rely on their wits and cunning to a larger degree than their superhero counterparts.  As with Batman of this era the plots are full of Asimov styled devices, aliens, and creatures.  One of the charms of the Challenger series was the comradery of the heroes, Ace, Red, Prof, and Rocky.  As the series evolved the banter between the boys was priceless.  We have nearly every issue and we highly recommend it to others!
 
Comic Grading - Definition of a Crease.
     
Crease - A fold which causes ink removal, usually resulting in a white line.  This seems to be the sense of what a crease is to Overstreet's Grading Guidelines and most comic graders.  We note two categories of creasing in our descriptions, 1) color breaking and 2) non-color breaking. 
 
For a color breaking crease, it must show that white line, though of course the thickness, length, and cover location of the crease are all important factors in how severely the crease actually degrades the cover's impact.
 
A non-color breaking crease is technically not a crease since it doesn't break color, but to those of us who have spent hours obsessing over our books, it is an interruption in the gloss or how the cover reflects light.  Take a smooth unblemished white sheet of paper and press your thumb nail into it several times using varying amounts of pressure.  As the paper is white there is no break in color, but depending on lighting and its angle to the paper eventually you would be able to see every point where the nail impressed the paper.  Again the noticeability, number, and locations of non-color breaking creases are factors affecting the quality of the cover.
 
If a cover is generally smooth, this means the non-color breaking creases present are interfering little with the cover's appearance.  These kinds of creases range from unnoticeable in normal viewing conditions to very intrusive.  A comic must be very carefully handled to avoid leaving these impressions at the edges.
 
Unfortunately, scans of the covers, even the enlargeable images we employ, do not always fully depict these imperfections.  We try to fill in the gaps by offering our estimate of what the Overstreet Grade would likely be, and by giving a detailed written description. 
 
Like most comic buyers and graders we have exchanged thoughts with, we agree that Overstreet Grading Guidelines provide a helpful starting point to access a book's quality, but we all have our own tastes and biases, and sharp disagreements on various books as well as complaints about Overstreet's approach.  Different books will impress you differently than they would us, which is why we try to be detailed and factual.  We are merely trying to provide buyers with enough background so the book received satisfies or exceeds the expectations generated by our listing.

We have tried to be precise and reasonable in my grading.  However, since grading has many gray areas ... No Condition is guaranteed.  No one can catch or describe every flaw, though generally our listings in detail and accuracy surpass 90% of other sellers.  Better yet, with enlargeable images for every item you can make sounder judgements about the quality of the item.  Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or want additional scans via email.

Good toner pad option
Color: Zero Pore Pads, Size: 70 Count (Pack of 1)
I like these to use no more than 1-2x a week for my skin. I use them before bed and wake up noticing smoother and more event toned skin. If you use them too often, they can cause redness and irritation, but I have never gotten a rash or a breakout because of them. I will say, they do not exfoliate all your texture away and refine your pores to perfection like the marketing says, but nothing does. The AHA and BHA are the chemical exfoliants and work just like they do in any other product. The pads are very moist and stay saturated in the container as long as you keep the lid shut. Overall, a good toner pad option to be used occasionally in your routine and do not mix with any other actives.

Ive been ordering these for years now
Color: Zero Pore Pads, Size: 70 Count (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using these toner pads twice a day and they’ve worked really well for my skin. Since using them consistently, my acne has stayed under control much better than before. The pads feel gentle and don’t irritate my skin at all. I also like how convenient they are compared to using separate toner and cotton pads. My skin feels cleaner and smoother after each use. The container stays sealed well so the pads don’t dry out quickly. Overall, these have become a staple in my skincare routine.

The Biggest Visible Change I’ve Seen in My Skin in Years
Color: Zero Pore Pads, Size: 70 Count (Pack of 1), Color: Zero Pore Pads, Size: 70 Count (Pack of 1)
If I could only keep one skincare product, it would honestly be these pads. Even after trying peels, tools, clay masks, exfoliants, and retinol, this is the most noticeable improvement I’ve seen in my skin. I’m in my 50s and have tried a lot of skincare over the years — pore strips, clay masks, exfoliants, retinol, you name it. Very few products have made a noticeable difference in my skin, but these absolutely have. My biggest concern has always been the pores on my nose. They’ve looked enlarged for years and it’s something I’ve been self-conscious about. After using these pads, the difference was surprisingly visible — my pores looked tighter, my skin texture smoother, and my nose looked noticeably clearer. I added a close-up photo because this is where I’ve seen the biggest difference — my pores look visibly tighter and clearer What impressed me most is that I saw improvement right away, but the results actually kept getting better with consistent use. After about a month, my skin looks more refined overall and my nose pores appear much smaller than they used to. I also have sensitive, combination skin, so I’m careful with exfoliating products. These have been very gentle for me. The pads are thin but well saturated (not dripping), and I like using the textured side first to exfoliate, then flipping to the smooth side to finish. There’s no strong fragrance and they haven’t irritated my skin. Another unexpected benefit is how much better my makeup applies now. Foundation sits more smoothly and doesn’t settle into my pores the way it used to. After years of trying different skincare products, this may honestly be the one that has made the most noticeable change in my skin. If enlarged pores on your nose bother you like they did me, this product is absolutely worth trying. This is one of the few products that has genuinely shocked me with how well it works! I’ve been telling everyone I know and I’m not a spokesperson! I’m just impressed and happy to find something that works so well! 🩵

Truly zero pores!
Color: Zero Pore Pads, Size: 70 Count (Pack of 1)
These toner pads are a really convenient way to incorporate gentle exfoliation into a daily routine without adding extra steps. The dual-textured design is great—the textured side helps lightly exfoliate, while the smoother side is nice for refining and prepping the skin. They feel effective without being overly harsh. With consistent use, my skin looks a bit smoother and more refined, especially in areas where pores tend to be more visible. The formula feels active, but still balanced enough for regular use if your skin tolerates exfoliating acids well. I also appreciate how easy they are to use—pre-soaked and mess-free, which makes them ideal for both morning or evening routines. Overall, a well-formulated, easy-to-use option for maintaining smoother, clearer-looking skin with minimal effort.
