Story 2 6 pages adventure; science fiction
Storyline

Prof. Duane is missing, apparently having created a formula that grows things to giant size. Headquarters fears that Prof. Duane has been captured by enemy agents, and orders Suicide Squad to investigate unofficially. The team books into a nearby resort so as to search surreptitiously. A giant monster seizes both Karin and a nuclear bomb being tested with a time device. Knocking the monster out with anesthetic the men free Karin, then tow the monster out to sea where the bomb explodes harmlessly. Suicide Squad regrets the monster's death, as they all surmise it was originally Prof. Duane.
