When one Ker threatens Arak in fury, the ancient curse begins to stir. Disguised, the pair reach the monastery, where they’re sent into the caves after reports of three naked maidens. There, Arak is hurled into a chasm, where he discovers carvings revealing his true origin as the son of the God of Thunder. Written by Roy Thomas and illustrated with striking detail by Alfredo Alcala—pencils, inks, and lettering—this 1982 DC adventure, with colors by Adrienne Roy and a cover by Alcala, blends myth, mystery, and ancient revelation in a tale that reshapes Arak’s destiny.

In "Death Is the Hunter," King Carolus Magnus is wary but intrigued when his long-time foes, the Avar Huns, send a peace offering: a golden antlered helmet meant to aid in hunting. Though his son Valda senses the gift is cursed, the king and his three sons don their armor and take up the hunt—only to find the helmet has twisted the king into a stag, hunted now by his own sons. With the magic still alive in the antlers, Valda must act fast to break the spell before blood is spilled.
