In "The H Bomb," Bob and Sandra return to Konga’s island, where a brief dose of shrinking serum brings the giant ape back to his usual size—just in time to help them survive a storm that strands them on a remote island. There, they discover the island is set to be the site of a U.S. H-Bomb test, and as Konga regains his full strength, he uses a mirror to signal for help. The story, written by Joe Gill and illustrated by Steve Ditko with inks by Ditko, features a striking cover by Ditko and Dick Giordano, capturing the tension of a world on the brink.

Strange Animals

While mankind reaches toward the stars, Earth's remote jungles still harbor creatures as exotic as any imagined on distant planets—and this story explores the most unusual of them all: the marsupials and other bizarre animals that have survived from ancient times. From the pouch-bearing kangaroo and cuddly koala to the savage Tasmanian wolf and the dinosaur-like Komodo dragon, discover the strange animal families that call our own world home, primarily concentrated in the unexplored regions of Australia.
