In "The Challenger," a future Earth sends a suicide mission to Mars, but aboard the ship, a rebellious daughter escapes an arranged marriage only to find love with the captain. As they near Mars, they discover the planet has already surrendered—its regime overthrown by a revolution, and its people freed from war with Venusian and Saturnian forces. Cover by Dick Giordano, this 1965 Charlton issue offers a rare, poignant sci-fi tale from the era’s bold imagination.
