Characters Challengers of the Unknown [Ace Morgan; Rocky Davis; Red Ryan]; Harold Moffet; Batman; Corinna Stark; Sgt Bambadora; soldiers; Amazon tribesmen; Duncan Pramble (unnamed)
Synopsis Rocky is led by the nose around the world by Corinna Stark, hitting casinos and gambling his money away. Rocky misses his buddies and drinks. “I’m getting too old for this…” Red is making a name as “The 9MM Vigilante” in Gotham, until a midnight visit by Batman, who gives him a one-way ticket to anywhere else. Red fetches up in El Segundo, where ironically he first became a hero for saving the country (Showcase #6). Red works as a mercenary until he’s invited to change sides, and does, and gets betrayed and thrown into prison. “I’m getting too old for this…” Ace hang-glides over the Amazon seeking the Tuto, a tribe famed for magic. He boards a riverboat that’s ambushed by arrows. Shot full of shafts, he tumbles over a waterfall and lies dying. “I’m getting too old for this…” Harold Moffet keeps getting messages from beyond: Prof’s face telling him “Do your job,” and TV scenes of mass murder. “What’s happening to me?”
