The vessel, now adrift and cursed with its own dead, is suddenly intercepted by a mysterious silvery craft that paralyzes the crew and transports them—along with their captives—into an alien vessel, where they discover they’ve become the new cargo of a galactic slave trade. Written by Bill Gaines and Al Feldstein, with stark, haunting art by Bernie Krigstein and lettering by Jim Wroten, this chilling tale from 1970 turns the horrors of human exploitation into a cosmic nightmare.
In "Slave Ship," a grim voyage from Africa to America ends in horror when the U.S. Coast Guard spots the vessel, forcing the captain, Jorkin, to drown his human cargo. The ship turns back toward Africa—only to be intercepted by a mysterious silvery craft that paralyzes the crew and abducts them. Now, the once-captors find themselves the prisoners aboard an alien slave ship, their fate sealed in a terrifying reversal of power.
