Reptisaurus #8

In "Brood of the Beast," Dr. Harden’s experiments on the baby Reptisaur reveal dangerous secrets—radiation can kill it, but high-pitched frequencies can hypnotize it. Determined to harness its power, he plans global domination, unaware his assistant has already turned against him. When the assistant uses radiation to destroy the young Reptisaurs, Harden’s rage leads him to Africa, where he finally gains control—only to face the U.N.’s retaliation. The story, written by Joe Gill and illustrated by Bill Montes with inks by Ernie Bache, features cover art by Bill Montes and Ernie Bache, and is a standout 1962 Charlton issue with a 12-cent cover price.
