The Chosen People #[nn]
In "A Giant's Challenge," Saul confronts the weight of prophecy as Samuel's ghost warns him of an inevitable downfall. With the Philistines closing in and fate looming, the burden of kingship proves too heavy to bear. Written by Iva Hoth and illustrated with haunting detail by André LeBlanc—both on interior art and cover—this 1978 issue captures a moment of tragic inevitability in a story that lingers long after the final panel.
