In "Trap of Sir Hawk!", amnesiac Jon sets out on a perilous quest to reclaim his forgotten throne, guided only by a mute bard and the daunting Twelve Tasks of Thor. With the evil Torgunn the Claw watching, Jon faces his first trials—defeating a giant, capturing fire in an ice demon’s helmet, and rescuing a mermaid from a sunken chest—each challenge pushing him closer to uncovering his true identity. Written by Bob Haney and illustrated with gritty precision by Joe Kubert, with lettering by Gaspar Saladino, this 1958 adventure unfolds under Irv Novick’s striking cover.
