“Trail of the Black Falcon!”

In "Trail of the Black Falcon!", Viking Prince Jon faces a deadly curse after surviving a battle with a sea dragon, leaving him weakened during the three days of the Dragon Moon. With rival Klagg the Red seizing the chance to challenge his leadership, Jon embarks on a desperate quest through treacherous trials—boiling springs, icy pools, and a battle with a lightning-charged eel—only to find the curse still holds. Written by Bob Haney and illustrated with fierce detail by Joe Kubert, this 1959 adventure blends myth and survival in a story where strength is tested as much by the moon as by the enemy. The cover by Joe Kubert captures the moment of peril with dramatic intensity.

The Viking Prince and Princess Asa swim, but are attacked by a sea dragon. Jon drives it off, but acquires a dragon-scar. He's cursed to lose his strength during the three days of the Dragon Moon! Klagg the Red takes advantage and challenges him for leadership. Jon treks to drive off the curse, plunging his arm into boiling springs, icy pools, even grappling an electric eel. But the scar and curse remain. Klagg fights him and Jon is weak - until the Dragon Moon fades. He beats down Klagg, but the dragon's curse remains.
