In "The Shield Versus The Black Hood," Sgt. Lee Forest—known to his comrades as 'Yellow Eyes'—reemerges from the African jungle decades after a wartime rescue, his cat-like grace and towering presence a silent echo of a past he thought he'd left behind. When the man who once saved his life is threatened by a lion, Forest steps back into the wild to settle an old debt, only to vanish once more into the shadows. Dick Ayers handles both pencils and inks for the story, while Paul Reinman delivers the striking cover art for this 1977 Alan Class publication, a 0.15 GBP issue of Astounding Stories.

In a quiet corner of Africa, where the war has ended but the wild remains, Sgt. Lee Forest—known to his comrades as "Yellow Eyes"—is drawn back to the jungle he once fled. Years after a life-saving bond forged in battle, he reemerges when his old comrade is threatened by a lion, his presence both a warning and a farewell. A tale of debt, memory, and the deep, unspoken ties that bind men to the land they’ve survived.
