In "Guardian of the Golden Bough!", Arak, Satyricus, and Dyanna flee Byzantium only to face a new trial: a forbidden forest they’re warned to avoid. When Satyricus ignores the warning and drags two women into the woods, Arak follows their trail and stumbles upon a golden bough at the heart of the glade—only to be ambushed by a fierce priest claiming to serve Artemis. Written by Roy Thomas and Dann Thomas, with bold artwork by Ron Randall and vibrant colors by Adrienne Roy, this 1983 DC adventure blends myth and mystery in a story where destiny isn’t chosen—it’s claimed. The cover, also by Ron Randall, captures the moment of confrontation with striking intensity.
