In "Eyeless in Asia," Arak and his companions draw near to the legendary city of White Cathay, where a warning echoes: do not gaze upon its radiant glow. When Valda is blinded by the city’s magical mirror during a passing roc’s flight, the group must act fast—Satyricus climbs a treacherous cliff to find a cure in the roc’s nest, leading Arak on a perilous rescue. Written by Roy and Dann Thomas, with dynamic art by Adrian Gonzales and inks by Alfredo Alcala, this 1983 issue blends ancient wonder with heartfelt redemption. The cover, also by Alcala, captures the moment of awe and danger with striking precision.

In "Eyeless in Asia," Arak and his companions draw near to the fabled city of White Cathay, where a warning from Johannes forbids them from gazing directly at its radiant glow. When Valda’s curiosity leads her to look up as a rare roc passes overhead, she’s struck blind by the city’s magical mirror—but a cure lies in the creature’s distant nest, sending Satyricus on a perilous climb. Arak must then risk everything to bring him back, and in the end, Valda finds forgiveness where she least expected it.
