22 page Challengers of the Unknown story "Challengers of the Unknown"

Characters Challengers of the Unknown [Ace Morgan; Rocky Davis; Prof Haley; June Robbins; Red Ryan]; Morelian;
Synopsis The Challengers wait in the Green Room of TV's "Real Incredible People". They kill time retelling their origin to June. They recount (new) stories of how they cheated death pre-Challengers. On stage, they find a surprise: the original mystery box of Morelian from their first adventure (Showcase 6)! They grab the box and fly out: it's dangerous! Landing on a desert island, they recount opening the box to release a stone giant, whirling weaver, and ice globe. At that point, Morelian took a ring that offered immortality, but was killed. It's the BOX that offers immortality. And they never opened the fourth drawer. June does - and reveals an ancient wizard sitting inside! He helped build it, and has been inside for 300 years. As long as he doesn't leave the box, he's immortal. And he has a pocket TV set (from a previous visitor) to keep him busy. The Challs reseal the box, but Rocky wonders, "You call that living?"
