The Challengers of the Unknown

First appearing in Showcase #6 1957, the Challengers of the Unknown were four ordinary men. Test pilot Kyle "Ace" Morgan, daredevil biker Matthew "Red" Ryan, Leslie "Rocky" Davis and Walter Mark "Prof" Haley were all traveling on the same plane and survived a crash that no one should have. They banded together and formed the Challengers of the Unknown, going on many adventures, facing strange monsters, creatures and other things. Soon after, they based their headquarters in a hollowed mountain they named Challenger Mountain. Eventually, they added a fifth member, June Robbins. The team has survived over the years, always facing new and bizarre things along the way. Their adventures have been collected into reprint volumes, but if anyone who reads this blog manages to find any of their comics at a decent price and in great shape, do not pass up that opportunity! So get out there and read up on the adventures today!
