Manic Monday Bonus--Savant Vs. Octeel!!

In the far-flung future of 2230, Dr. Mark Savant (yes, that's his real name) has heard that the world of Genero has taken up human sacrifice!!

Savant goes there, and quizzes King Gaarlo about what the hell is going on!

Meanwhile, evil vizier Mago has kidnapped Savant's girlfriend Mona...and just guess what he's going to do with her!

Savant rides of to the rescue!

Ewwwww!!!

Part Octopus and part electric eel? Man, I glad I wasn't around for that honeymoon!!

Anyway, ewwwwwww!!!

Meanwhile, in a total Doctor Who plot, it turns out Mago has trained the octeel to eat people, so he can create terror and take over the kingdom.

And in a totally unsurprising twist, the trainee turns on the trainer:

But Savant has a plan!!

So in the eternal battle, it's Savant 1, octeel 0!!!

From Amazing Ghost Stories #16 (1955). Yes, I know there are no ghosts in this story...
