Arion, Lord of Atlantis #4

This special origin issue of *Arion, Lord of Atlantis* arrives with real ambition, promising readers the backstory behind DC's ancient sorcerer-hero. Jan Duursema's cover renders Arion as a luminous, almost ethereal figure surging upward through a cascade of golden light and energy bursts, one fist raised toward a blazing star emblem — a vivid image of raw magical power awakening. Written by Doug Moench with art and inks by Duursema, this February 1983 installment carries the subtitle "Unto Atlantis… a Savior!" and feels like exactly the kind of mythic, high-stakes storytelling that made DC's fantasy corner so compelling in the early '80s.
