Amazing Adventures (1970 series) #16

On a dark road, Beast leaps out of the woods to bring a car to a halt and then he flees into the dark. The car is carrying Gerry Conway, Steve Englehart, and Len and Glynis Wein to the annual Halloween Parade in Rutland, Vermont. Beast hastily dons the disguise that allows him to pass as normal Hank McCoy and he and Vera Cantor return to the stopped car and ask for a ride, claiming car trouble of their own. So they squeeze into the car and take off for Rutland. As they zip away, a portal opens in the sky and Juggernaut emerges, elated to be back on Earth. He vows revenge against his enemies and then the portal opens again and he is sucked back into space. There, he learns from a mysterious voice what is happening: He was fighting Dr. Strange when Eternity hurled him into oblivion. Since then, Strange was in Rutland the previous Halloween and Beast is there now so the emanations are drawing Juggernaut to that town at midnight to seek his revenge…. 

The Marvel staffers drop Hank and Vera off in downtown Rutland and Vera is concerned that the world will die if they don’t get to Canada in a week. Later that evening, Hank and Vera encounter the Marvelites during the parade and then the portal opens again and Juggernaut emerges and starts smashing his way through the parade floats. The portal then reopens and draws him away again but now he knows he will be back. And then the group realizes that Glynis is missing and Hank offers to join the others in finding her. Hank removes his disguise in an alley and goes out as the Beast to hunt for Juggernaut, knowing that a strange appearance will help him blend in….

Hours later, Beast sees Juggy again appear out of the portal and the bad guy recognizes Beast as his old X-Men foe, courtesy of the voice in the void. Beast tries to rip Juggy’s helmet off as the only way to beat him but that’s harder than it sounds. Beast runs from him and jumps over the electric power plant, hoping to keep Juggy from following him too closely but Juggy just smashes his way through. Beast then tries to swim away in the reservoir but to his surprise the heavy Juggernaut can swim due to his mystic powers. Juggy catches up and clobbers Beast but then can’t maintain purchase on a crumbly incline and Hank takes advantage of the delay to don his Hank suit and lose himself at Tom Fagan’s party. He relaxes there—until Juggernaut crashes into the house, tracking him by his emanations. Hank flees upstairs until he reaches the attic where he finds there is no escape. So Hank rips off his mask and the sight of the Beast’s scary new face shocks Juggy long enough for Hank to snatch away his helmet. Juggy flees the house and tries to escape but Beast catches up to him and beats him…and then notices that Juggernaut is aging rapidly. Juggy explains that his feelings of hate kept him young in the other dimension but when hate turned to fear, his youth vanished. Now the portal opens again and Juggernaut claims to be going away to die…..

The Marvel guys find Glynis who was having a good time and telling them not to worry, Halloween is a time for having fun. Meanwhile, Beast stands in the woods all night, feeling alone….
