The Challenger · 20 pages
Aliens from the planet Yagos send their champion, the mighty Lukk, to soften Earth up for an invasion. The Yagolians are gigantic robotic spacemen and are conquerors who pillage planets for their natural resources. They thought that Earth would be easy to conquer due to Earthlings being puny in size. They never anticipated Konga though. Konga defeats Lukk easily by destroying him with one punch and then picks up his immense saucer flinging it into space.
