BONUS REVIEW by "Doc" Schaefer


The adventures of this Mad Magazine version of the Challengers of the Unknown, slips quietly into it's second adventure. Yeti's and the comic book need to have a super-villain to keep the conflict active are on the day's agenda. This title does have the ability to aggravate me. On the one hand, I applaud any group of ordinary who gather together to explore. Rip Hunter and his Time Masters, the Sea Devils, or Cave Carson and his band all rank among my top teams ever. But some of the humor does take away from the serious side of the plot. (Yes, I know that is one of the whole points of the book.) And that is my dilemma, have it take a bigger step into the more serious aspects and you end up losing one of the basic bricks the series. Make it too funny, and you won't be able to see the potential of these mysteries.

I give it 7 out of 10 Grahams
