In "When Dead Gods Walk!", Arak / Son of Thunder #27 (1983), the warrior finds himself caught between ancient rituals and divine fury when he rescues a pagan priestess from a fiery execution in Byzantium. Written by Roy Thomas and Dann Thomas, with dynamic art by Ron Randall and colors by Adrienne Roy, the issue unfolds as the priestess summons living effigies to defend her, turning the crowd against Arak—until a moment of mercy changes everything. The cover by Ron Randall captures the epic clash of faith and fury.
