Battle of the Planets #8
In "Surprise Surrender," the crew of the Phoenix faces a deadly trap on Tiki Atoll, where a hidden Heat Generator threatens to overload the computer core. With Zoltar behind the scheme, the G-Force must survive a tidal wave and a full-scale assault on Center Neptune—escaping by transmuting the Phoenix into the Firebird. Written by Bob Langhans and brought to life with dynamic art by Win Mortimer, this 1980 issue delivers high-stakes action and tense suspense. The cover, also by Win Mortimer, captures the moment of crisis with bold, expressive detail.
In "Surprise Surrender," Zoltar's cunning plan turns the tide as G-Force celebrates what they believe is a victory—only to be ambushed by a seemingly surrendering robot named Abbas. With Mark and Princess racing to outwit the trap, they must use deception to turn the robot's final act against Zoltar himself.
In "The Tidal Wave," G-Force races to Tiki Atoll after a dangerous spike in the computer core’s temperature, only to uncover a Heat Generator hiding in the ruins of an extinct volcano—clearly a trap set by Zoltar. When he unleashes a massive tidal wave to sink the Phoenix and launch a full assault on Center Neptune, the team must act fast to survive, transmuting the Phoenix into the Firebird and turning back the attack with precision and courage.
