The evil masked Cobra, and his pet King (which manages to tag Manhunter), turn to leave when Thor charges them and is shot by the Cobra's men.

| Notes | Hal Kant named after comics editor Hal Kanter. Originally credited to Jim Mooney, but he has rounder and more relaxed faces than this, as in Tales of the Unexpected #35. The staring, scary eyes can be none other than Vernon Henkel. Also the very thin and broad hat brims are his, only the inking is different. Compare with his signed Chic Carter story in this issue. |
