Awesome page pencilled by Alex Toth for a short lived Challengers of the Unknown series, written by Bob Rozakis, that briefly ran in Adventure Comics.
As indicated at the top of the page, this was scheduled for Adventure Comics (vol. 1) #498 (April, 1983). However, the Challengers series ended in Adventure #497; there book became an all-reprint anthology with #498.
Fortunately, someone at DC Comics knew they couldn't let Toth's great work moulder away unused in a drawer somewhere. The pages were integrated into the story for DC Comics Presents #84 (August, 1985), written by Rozakis, wherein Superman teamed with the Challengers.
Toth's pages became a 7-page Challengers flashback sequence, inked by Greg Theakston. The rest of the issue was drawn by Jack Kirby, also inked by Theakston. This marked Kirby's final time drawing the Challengers, the team he created in 1957, as well as his final major work for DC.
Kirby's final work for DC was this cover for Action Comics (vol. 1) #638 (February, 1989). This was during the time when Action became a weekly anthology book. Superman was kicked off (most of) the covers, and relegated to a two-page serial in the centerfold that read like a continuing Sunday newspaper comic strip.
