Spyke #2

In Spyke #2 (1993), written by Mike Baron and illustrated by Bill Reinhold, the young mutant finds himself stranded on the hostile planet Squall, where survival means adapting to its brutal ecosystem. With help from Conita, who arms him with a protective suit, Spyke faces deadly creatures like the Berzerkers, Rothair crows, and Gibbet rats—before a night spent with Conita sets off a chain of events that leads to a fateful confrontation with Duke Manfred. The issue’s cover by Bill Reinhold captures the tension of this alien journey, as Spyke’s fate takes a sudden turn when he defeats the Duke and is sent to the enigmatic world of Pandrakon.
