MYSTERY ON THE MOON! It is July 1969, and the United States is about to send the first manned mission to the Moon. Kree Sentry #459 has deemed that the mission to the Moon must end in failure and rockets itself across the ocean to an island made to resemble the moon's surface. Inside this island lays a device the Sentry intends to use to insure that the Apollo mission ends in failure. Learning of this plot, Reed takes Ben and Johnny with him to the island to battle the Kree Sentry and destroy the device it intends to use to destroy the Apollo space shuttle. After a battle against time, they manage to defeat the Sentry, and Ben is able to destroy the device that is to be used against Apollo. Ben carries Reed and Johnny back to the their ship and blasts off for home, just as the Apollo space craft lands and Neil Armstrong says his historic words: "That's one small step for a man-- one giant leap for mankind!"
