“The Prometheus Pit!”

In "The Prometheus Pit!", the Micronauts face off against the enigmatic Phillip Prometheus, a cyborg whose mysterious Prometheus Pit serves as a gateway to the Microverse. Meanwhile, on Homeworld, Prince Argon, transformed into a centaur, launches a desperate assault on Baron Karza and his dog soldiers—only to be overpowered, leaving Slug as the chosen vessel for Duchess Belladonna. Written by Bill Mantlo and brought to life with dynamic art by Michael Golden, this 1979 Marvel classic features cover art by Golden and Joe Rubinstein.
