Arak #6
This volume collects issues from the French-language reprint series Arak, published by Arédit-Artima in 1986, featuring the adventures of the Native American warrior Arak, Son of Thunder, originally created by Roy Thomas and Ernie Colón for DC Comics.
In "Les portes du scorpion," Arak and his companions set sail in search of his lost homeland, only to be caught in a violent storm that sweeps Valda overboard. When the ship reaches a mysterious island, Arak and Satyricus venture ashore and stumble upon a brutal gladiatorial spectacle—Valda, alive but trapped, must fight a monstrous bull. With the beast slain, the ground splits open, swallowing Arak’s friends whole. As he stares in shock, he confronts the chilling truth: the island’s high priestess is Angelica, his long-standing enemy. Written by Roy Thomas and Dann Thomas, with evocative art by Tony DeZuniga and coloring by Adrienne Roy, this issue features a striking cover by Tony DeZuniga.

Arak and friends board a ship to search for Arak's homeland. Not long into the voyage, though, a vicious storm hits and Valda is washed overboard and disappears. When the ship chances upon an island, Arak disembarks with Satyricus to investigate. There, they find a city whose populace has gathered at the arena to watch Valda fight for her life against a huge bull. Arak and Satyricus jump to her aid and kill the beast, but Arak's friends are then swallowed by a fissure in the ground. To his horror, Arak realizes the high priestess of the island is none other than his old foe, Angelica!
