| More good girl/sword & sandal fun with Malu the hottie slave girl princess and her fearless protector Garth. I love the melodramatic dialogue; the art is quite good and there's a fast pace and lots of action, like a good costume epic. "The Flame Goddess" is good, campy fun too. I surmise that the plan was to give Malu and Garth a canine sidekick, but alas, these were their last adventures. |
|
| This cover makes me think of a (not as skilled) Dave Stevens. Great fun. |
|
| Thank you, Cimmerian32. You've done an excellent job in editing these scans -- outstanding! One of the very best I've seen on this site. Oh, and the comics are nice, too. Hard to know how to categorize these issues, so I just filed them in a folder with Avon science-fiction titles, since the final Slave Girl story appears in Avon's STRANGE WORLDS #3. |
|
| I can’t believe this series only lasted two issues! The Conanesque world-building should have provided enough plot options for a decade or more. Hopefully, someone will pick it up and re-launch it. |

| To answer the question on the last story page, it looks as though Malu and Garth DIDN'T escape certain death as we never saw them again. |
