- The Devil and the Dinosaur! - The pits emanate strange energies and will cause anything that fall into them to teleport to another time or dimension. In Devil Dinosaur (Marvel, 1978 series) #9, Devil Dinosaur had fallen into one of the pits which teleported him into the present day. Devil Dinosaur and Moon Boy would next appear in Fallen Angels (Marvel, 1987 series) #4 (July 1987). While Devil Dinosaur does have a brief cameo in Ka-Zar the Savage #34 (1984), it's an out of continuity humor appearance. The Hag of the Pits was last seen in Devil Dinosaur (Marvel, 1978 series) #9. She would return for a brief cameo in Avengers Academy (Marvel, 2010 series) #6 (January 2011).
