“Mindgames”

In "Mindgames," Rom #20 (1981), the Spaceknights face a moral reckoning when Terminator is tried for executing a planetary ruler during a mission against the Dire Wraiths. With the verdict sealed and his fate decided, Terminator chooses death over exile—only for his final moments to be interrupted by the unseen hand of the malevolent Mentus, who spirits him away at the last instant. Heartened by the loss of his ally, Rom resolves to strike out alone, leaving Galador and the Spaceknights to confront the Wraiths on his own. Written by Bill Mantlo and illustrated by Sal Buscema, with inks by Joe Sinnott, colors by Ben Sean, and letters by Michael Higgins, the issue’s cover by Al Milgrom captures the tension of a pivotal moment in the saga.

Terminator is put on trial for rashly killing the ruler of a world where the Spaceknights were ferreting out Dire Wraiths. Terminator chooses death rather than banishment and his sentence is carried out. Little do the Spaceknights know that as Terminator is being consumed by the Glowing Globe of Power, he is teleported away at the last instant by the evil Mentus. Disheartened by the destruction of his friend, Rom decides to leave Galador and the Spaceknights to battle Wraiths on his own.
