Arak / Son of Thunder #31
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIssue #31 of DC's Arak, Son of Thunder brings a kinetic burst of sword-and-sorcery energy to March 1984, with Ernie Colón's cover depicting the Native American warrior Arak in a dramatic mid-air lunge — dagger raised in one hand, a glowing golden artifact clutched in the other — as flames and smoke swirl beneath him and a horde of Vikings loom in the shadowy background. The cover teaser "The Fury of the Vikings!" promises the kind of mythic clash that writer Roy Thomas, co-writer Dann Thomas, and artist Ernie Colón deliver with such confidence throughout this series. With the interior story "For Love of Amber!" and a colorful creative team that includes colorist Adrienne Roy and inker Tony DeZuniga, this is a fine example of DC's early-'80s adventure comics firing on all cylinders.

Arak recalls an adventure when he was still a Viking raider. He wanted to marry Amber, but a rival also wanted her, so Ottar declared that he would give Amber to whomever brings him a chunk of real amber as big as her head. Arak ends up finding a huge mound of amber with a woman being sacrificed on it by barbarians. He rescues her, but the pile of amber becomes a dragon, and Arak needs the help of the woman, Dziewona, to defeat it. She rewards Arak with the amber he needs, but Arak is horrified when he returns home. Ottar had died, and Amber has been slain to accompany him to the underworld.
