AS THE HEROK DUO TRAVEL ON, THEY FIND THEMSELVES SUR-

ROUNDED BY A STRANGE MIST...
HANDS FORMING OUT
OF THE MIST! WE’RE HELPLESS...
OUT BLOWS MERELY PASS THROUGH
IT!
STRANGE, I’VE NEVER SEEN DRAW YOUR MACE, MAN-AT-ARMS,
A MIST FORM HERE BEFORE. SOMETHING TELLS ME WE’RE ABOUT
TO HAVE COMPANY.
OUR PHYSICAL POWERS CAN’T

HELP US... BUT PERHAPS THE
DEAD BRANCHES ON THE
I’LL SET FIRE TO GROUND WILL SAVE US!
THESE DRY BRANCHES. LUCKILY
THIS PATCH OF GROUND IS
SURROUNDED BY ROCKS SO THAT
THE FIRE CAN’T
SPREAD.
WITH THE MIST CREATURE DEFEATED THE

HEROIC DUO SOON REACH THE COAST...
AK!
ZA
MERLANTIS LIES
UNDERWATER TO THE
SEST OF HERE.
THE LAST TIME

WE MADE CONTACT WITH THEM THEY
WERE FRIENDLY. LET’S HOPE
NOTHING HAS HAPPENED TO CHANGE
THAT.
IT’S WORKING! THE HEAT

FROM THE FIRE IS CARRYING JUST LIKE A HOT AIR
THE MIST UPWARD AND OUT BALLOON! EXCELLENT,
OF OUR WAY! HE-MAN. IF IT HAS, THEN I’M
AFRAID THAT MY
MOTHER, THE QUEEN, IS
DOOMED.
CHOOSING THE BEST DEPARTURE POINT, THE HEROES WADE INTO THE
ETERNIAN OCEAN AND THE WATERY REALMOF MERLATIS...! ONCE UNDERWATER, THE
DUE SOON SEE MERLANTIS...
MY AIR-TANK WILL ALLOW I’LL FILL MY POWERFUL LUNGS WITH

ME TO BREATHE AIR. SINCE I CAN HOLD MY BREATH FOR
U N D E RWAT E R .
A LONG TIME I DON’T NEED AN AIR- WE CAN NEVER SURRENDER THE THRONE TO
TANK. SKELETOR. WHICH MEANS THAT UNLESS WE ARE
GIVEN THE SERUM WE NEED MY MOTHER IS DOOMED
TO REMAIN A COLD, OBJECT OF STONE!

STRANGE... YOU’D THINK SOMEONE IT’S SO QUIET. MERLANTIS IS A

WOULD HAVE SEEN US COMING. BUSY CITY, IT SHOULD BE
AS THEY ENTER THE TEEMING WITH PEOPLE.
CITY...
THEN WE’D
BEST BE ON
OUR GUARD.
THE HEROES LOOK UP FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE

THE HEROES SEARCH THE DESERTED STREETS UNTIL... PIT TO SEE THE FACE OF THEIR CAPTOR...
EXACTLY! SKELETOR KNEW THAT BY CHANGING THE
QUEEN TO STONE, YOU WOULD BE FORECED TO COME
HERE FOR THE CURE. SINCE I HAVE THE POWER TO
CONTROL ALL SEA-CREATURES... INCLUDING THE
MERLANTEANS...
GO LIMP AND IT WAS EASY TO SET
YAAA! A TRY TO ROLL WITH THE THIS TRAP!
TRAP! FALL!
MER-MAN! SO YOU
ARE BEHIND ALL THIS.
IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS
ALL A PLAN TO TRAP
US.
H!
SROOS
MER-MAN GLEEFULLY WATCHES AS THE WALLS MOVE
ANYWAY, I MUST GO
EVER CLOSER TOGETHER...!
HE-MAN. YOU HAVE A PRESSING
ENGAGEMENT!
HE, HE! SKELETOR WILL BE

PLEASED WITH THIS AT LAST IT IS

AS THE WALLS AUTOMATICALLY MER-MAN IS WHEN MER-MAN REACHES THE

WITH HE-MAN DESTROYED, SKELETOR SHOCKED TO DISCOVER THAT THE PIT IS EMPTY... BOTTOM HE IS FURTHER
WILL BE ABLE TO LEAD HIS ATTACK ON SHOCKED BY...
ETEROS AND TAKE THE THRONE BY FORCE.
I USED MY SWORD TO
DIG A TRENCH IN THE SOIL. AS THE
WALLS CLOSED THEY PASSED OVER THE
TOP OF US. MY POWERFUL LUNGS
ALLOWED ME TO
B R E AT H E !
AWK! WHERE DID
IMPOSSIBLE! WHERE COULD YOU COME FROM?

IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE
TRAPPED!
17
SKELETOR IS TOO BUSY WITHTHE MERLANTEANS TO PREVENT THE RES-

CUE OF THE ETERNIANS... WE ARE SWORN TO HELP ANYBODY
WHO NEEDS OUT HELP... EVEN
THOSE WHO OPPOSE US!
SKELETOR WOULD HAVE
BLAMM!

THE HEROIC DUO ARRIVE BACK AT THE ROYAL PALACE WITH THE SERUM AND MAN-AT-ARNS POURS THE FLUID
THROUGH THE STONE-COLD LIPS OF THE QUEEN. AS THE MYSTERIOLS MEDICINE SPREADS
THROUGH OUT THE QUEEN’S STONE BODY, A
RAPPY TRANS FORMATION BEGINS TO TAKE
PLACE... IT’S WORKING! THE
THE SERUM SHOULD WORK SPELL OF STONE IS BEING
ALMOST INSTANTLY.
