Arak / Son of Thunder #45

Arak cradles a limp, green-skinned woman in his arms on this striking June 1985 cover, a burst of yellow-green energy radiating behind them while a tiny winged fairy and a crowd of ghostly figures haunt the background — all rendered with bold linework by cover artist Tony DeZuniga. Titled "She That Hath Wings…," the issue promises the kind of sword-and-sorcery atmosphere that made DC's barbarian hero such a compelling corner of their early '80s lineup. With Roy Thomas, Dann Thomas, and R. J. M. Lofficier on the script and interior art by Gérald Forton and Tony DeZuniga, this is a finely crafted entry in Arak's ongoing saga.
