Rom #40

In "Piper of Peril!", Rom ventures to Scotland to stop a Wraith Piper manipulating a village of children, only to find the portal to Wraithworld opening as Earth aligns with the Dark Sun. With the Dweller on the Threshold poised to claim the children, Rom fights to close the rift—only to be stranded on the other side. Meanwhile, Steve and Torpedo uncover the shocking truth: Doctor Dredd is a Wraith who has merged with Brandy and Starshine, forcing her to serve him. Written by Bill Mantlo and illustrated by Sal Buscema, with inks by Akin and Garvey, colors by Sean, and letters by Novak, the cover by Steve Leialoha captures the eerie tension of a 60-cent comic from 1983.
