Savage Tales #20
"Encounter!" in Savage Tales #20 (1980) delivers a pulse-pounding fantasy clash as Claw and Ghilkyn arrive just in time to rescue Cybilyth from a sacrificial altar, only to see the king’s wizard tear open a rift that unleashes the towering N'Hglthss. With the giant menace on the move, Cybilyth flees with the two warriors, guiding them toward Asvitar, the Burning Man, whose answer may hold the key to stopping the invasion. Written by David Michelinie and brought to life by Ernie Chan with inks by Pat Boyette and lettering by Ben Oda, the issue’s cover by Esteban Maroto captures the moment the rift opens, setting the stage for a desperate race against an otherworldly threat.
