Written by John Warner and illustrated by Jack Abel, this pivotal issue blends ancient threats with unexpected transformations, as radiation from the beast alters the fate of both Samson and Mindor—while Richard’s ambition meets a tragic end. The cover by George Wilson captures the eerie intensity of the moment, setting the stage for a story where legacy and survival collide.
In "Journey into the Past, Part 1: Baron of the 'Sterz," Mindor and his companions navigate a restored river cruiser up the Hudson, drawn to the Cloisters where they meet Baron Richard, a man who leads a reclusive tribe living as though in the Middle Ages. When Mindor falls ill from an infected wound, Richard offers a cure—but only if they can retrieve the horn of a unicorn.
In "Journey into the Past, Part 2: Beauty and the Beast," Richard's desperate plan to control the past backfires when Samson and Sharmaine confront a mutated unicorn unleashed by radiation. As the beast's power transforms those it touches, Samson finds strength in the chaos, while Richard's greed leads to his undoing. The aftermath leaves the Cloisters forever changed—some tribesfolk depart, others stay to rebuild, safeguarding art and memory in a new era.
