In "King-Beast of the Masai," Stuart and the Haywards are swept back through time to 19th-century Turkey, where they’re captured and thrown into a slave market—Laura’s auctioned off before a daring rescue unfolds alongside Prince Sahrib’s beloved, Zelda. Penciled by Homer Fleming, Alex Blum, and the Iger Shop, with inks by the Iger Shop, the story unfolds with pulse-pounding urgency, while Art Saaf’s cover captures the moment’s raw tension.
