Arion Lord of Atlantis 1982 - Newsstand #27

The Plot: "The Wind-Lord of the Sky"

Arion, Lady Chian, and Wyynde have reached the heart of the Valley, only to find that the "Lost" are guarded by a sentient, ancient weather-deity.

• Elemental Warfare: Arion is forced to use his sorcery to manipulate the very air around him. It’s a beautifully drawn sequence by Jan Duursema, showcasing the "fluidity" of Atlantean magic.
• The High Stakes: The Wind-Lord isn't just an obstacle; he represents the untamed nature of pre-cataclysmic Earth. Arion's struggle is to tame the storm without becoming a tyrant of the elements himself.
• Character Development: We see a shift in Wyynde in this issue. Often the "muscle" of the group, his survival instincts and knowledge of Atlantean geography become the key to escaping the Valley's grasp.
