| Synopsis |
Continued from last issue… Prof and June are dead. Challenger Mountain and most of Challengerville were leveled by an explosion. Ace, Red, and Rocky stand trial and might get the death penalty… In federal court, the guys’ lawyer wants to blame Prof for the explosion, since he’s dead. The prosecutor gets demon-flashes that “The Challengers must die!” And as Ace meditates, Red broods, and Rocky drinks, they see flashes of “Tell the truth”. (The voice of Prof from the beyond.) The prosecutor smears and ridicules the Challs’ fantastic adventures. The defense praises their good deeds. Then Superman(!) walks in and testifies the Challs are heroes. The guys are found not guilty, but must pay for damages – and disband. Ace calls a press conference to announce the Challengers have split up to pursue their own lives… In a crappy hotel, the mad bomber chuckles… In Venice, a mysterious woman (Corinna Stark) heads for the USA.
