This issue features the 46-page graphic novel, Mark of the Demon! According to legend, Douram, the Creator God, was incapable of destroying the slightest thing in the universe he had made. So he invented the Dahaak, to whom he entrusted this mission. But the Dahaak's desire for destruction was such that he threatened to kill his creator and take his place. So Douram locked up the demon in the far-off Northern lands. Centuries later, Urbald o fthe Nalkath clan commits the double-sacrilege of killing the shaman of the Wooka clan — rivals of the Nalkath — and of seducing Annicia, their chief's daughter. Chased by his enemies, he crosses the bridge of forgetfulness that leads to the den of the Dahaak!
