Posted on November 29, 2025November 29, 2025 by YarriThe Ultimate Collection All Elekton was tuned-in to one of the outstanding events of the age. We see Keren of the Air Fleet about to climb into the cockpit of what may prove to be the fastest craft that will ever fly in the atmosphere. Janno, the Emperor’s nephew, shook hands with his comrade. Janno was training for the forthcoming Trigan Empire games, otherwise he would have been piloting the “Ultimate Aircraft”. I still feel as if I’ve stolen your place, Janno. Nonsense, Keren. You deserve to be the fastest pilot ever. Good luck to you. Keren made a circuit of the entire planet in one-sixteenth of the time it had ever been done before. In passing, the plane’s ultra-sonic boom caused extensive damage. The old tower’s going to fall ! Peric, Elekton’s top scientist, who had designed the “Ultimate Air-craft”, was furious—with himself. All right, say what you’re thinking. It’s too fast to be of any military use and too small to carry passengers. It’s an amusing toy, fit only for a museum ! The craft, destined to be stripped down to its component parts for close examination in Peric’s laboratory, was loaded on to a transporter and taken away from the air base. Some distance down the highway . . . Halt ! The unarmed crew of the transporter looked on while the “Ultimate Aircraft” was attached to the heli-jet and carried skywards. The snatching of the wonder plane was a sensation throughout Elekton at first, but as the lunar months went by, another sensation claimed the attention of the masses. Here, on this site in the wilderness of Vorg, has been uncovered the fossilised remains of the earliest four-legged creature to inhabit our planet . . . the Monster of Vorg ! “The Monster of Vorg” was exhibited in a specially constructed building in Trigan City. It became one of the sights of the planet. Several weeks later, from out of a peaceful sky, a force of armed warriors descended. Acting swiftly and ruthlessly dealing with the slightest opposition, they cleared visitors from the vast building that housed the monster. Aaaagh ! Explosive charges brought the transparent roof crashing down. Then, from out of the wreckage rose “the Monster of Vorg !” This instalment was originally published in Look and Learn issue no. 724 on 29 November 1975.
