Published by DC Comics in 1960.  Cover and Interior art by Bob Brown.  "The Prisoner of the Tiny Space Ball" and "Creatures from The Past".

An appealing cover despite some minor flaws.  In terms of cover appearance this would rate a FN+ (6.5), but there has been water damage, though the book dried very nicely and it did not diminish the comic's appeal in a major way.  Here are the facts.  The cover is nicely reflective (with 70% or more of original gloss) and has strong coloring with some light general scuffing, and relatively flat.  There are some slight color breaking creases and general low level minor non-color breaking creases (see Definition of a Crease below), which detract little from the book's appeal, though the general scuffing which diminishes the colors subtracts more from the cover's impact.  The number "26" is inked in above Rocky's head.  There is a visible water stain at the bottom of the cover running just below the staple to Red's right hand.  A small triangle of the cover at the lower right corner is gone along with a small piece from the upper right corner.  Minor soiling on the front cover with a bit more on the back cover.  The back cover (see SuperSize Image below) has a brown water stain at the bottom.  There are some minor spine stress marks and there are several tears in the paper at the spine with the bottom staple detached from cover.  Interior pages are very supple and white to a light tan at the borders; though there is a slight stain in the bottom border due to water, it did not affect the panels and it dried without wrinkling making that area indistinguishable by touch from the rest of the page.  The staples are extremely well placed and the cover excellently cut with color extending nearly to the spine.  The edges are sharp though there are a few tiny tears and slght wear.  The corners are slightly rounded.  The book lies relatively flat with 3 of the corners rising 2 to 4 millimeters.  The book is complete with all pages securely attached with no interior tears or rips.  Overall an appealing book despite  its flaws!
 
Batman is our favorite comic hero.  As Challengers of the Unknown resemble Batman broken up into four heroes, it was natural to enjoy 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 I try to be detailed and factual.  We are merely trying to provide our 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.

Pack's Promise was okay but not great
Format: Kindle
Pack's Promise was okay but not great. I won't recommend it to anyone that I know. PRO: * Very likable characters * Lots of steamy scenes that are written very well * The spelling and grammar are good * The punctuation is good with the exception of using hyphens instead of commas. Lots of hyphens. Lots and lots of hyphens. CON: * Almost no interactions with any characters outside of Madison and the pack * Nearly no plot. They meet, get together for a heat, agree to make it permanent, done * Quite a few typos such as extraneous words, missing words and words out of order THINGS TO KNOW: * More steamy scenes than storytelling * A lot of MM & MMM, some MFMM during heat

Fluffy and Nice Omegaverse
Format: Kindle
… this would have made 5 stars but for 2 reasons. A.) there were quite a few typos; misspelled words, missing quotations, “the his” mistakes, and various signs that maybe a proofread would do good. B.) the writing was quite textbook. Late blooming omega is struggling with her new self, finds a absurdly wealthy pack of alphas, every thing is almost insta-love but she resists, then decides to love herself and let everyone be happy. Rian was my favourite (obviously the author’s favourite too because he got the most page time) but I wish we could see more of his CEO side? He went to work maybe ONCE the entire time. Gray was supposed to be the “growly one” but he turned out to be puppy dog. Lucas was a genius brainiac doctor - but also super alpha with an aggressive hindbrain with a breeding k*nk?? And then there was no actual “breeding”?? Spice 3/5 - normally omegaverse books are super high on messy smut but this was tamer. Romance 3/5 - insta-love that was then resisted because of personal hangup’s Plot 2/5 - weird paced head hopping, showing the same scene from different POV’s that made me feel like it was 2 steps backward, 1 step forward. Humour 4/5 - there were a dozen lines that genuinely made me chuckle out loud Would have been five stars but the lack of proofreading and the predictable plot made me unable to get up to ADORED IT level - four stars is still and official ENJOYED IT, y’all. This isn’t a bad rating. The “Club Heat” has intriguing possibilities so I’m going to give the second one a shot.

Fun with a late blooming omega
Format: Kindle
I like this book. The story is fun, cute, and sexy. There's just a little drama, some excellent, steamy scenes, and a fairly good relationship building storyline. I especially like how all the main characters are a bit older than the usual 20 somethings I tend to see in this kind of book. Having said that, I wish there were more descriptions of the places, as well as the food in the fancy restaurant. I enjoyed the cocktails at the club, so I missed that kind of detail when Gray took Madison on a dinner date. I also wish there had been more interaction between Lucas and Madison, and Lucas and Rian. It felt a bit lopsided, with a focus on Rian, Madison, and Gray. I wish it had been proofread - there are a lot of typos, but nothing too distracting.
