In "The Super-Giants of Jupiter," Hip faces off against the villain MacFadden in a wild aerial chase that spirals from a crash dive into the ocean to a soaring flight over South America. Written by Charles Hornig and illustrated by Jack Alderman, this 1940 adventure sees Hip use his hypnotic powers to command condors and navigate a jungle tribe’s aid, all before returning to New York to outwit his captor. The striking cover by Frank Paul captures the cosmic spectacle of the tale.
