Synopsis
Ware The Winds Of Death
Ka-Zar and Zabu are accompanying Tongah home to his village, when they encounter an angry god. Tongah relates the legend of Damon and Lelania, who came to Earth, and to the Savage Land, 5000 years ago, only to have Lelania apparently killed, and Damon driven mad. Damon rampaged and brought savage storms to the land, and then must have slept since then. Now, he is rampaging again.
Meanwhile in England, a Mysterious Girl arrives at the Plunder Estate looking for Lord Kevin.
Back in the Savage Land, The Heroic Trio valiantly try to fight the god, but the struggle seems useless. Tongah's people take shelter from the storm in a nearby cave, and his siblings, Emuel and Tatia, get drawn deep into the cave by a strange light.
The Tentacles Of The Tyrant!
Through means of torture, Dr. Doom learns of the existence of Vibranium and the secret nation of Wakana located in Africa. Seeking to use the Vibranium for his own ends, Dr. Doom sends a mechanical eagle to Africa to find the location of the hidden country.
Succeeding in it's mission, the robotic eagle sends the location to Dr. Doom. With a newly built atomic tunneling device, Dr. Doom digs a tunnel from Latveria to Wakanda and begins searching for the rare metal. The search causes great seismic disturbances that rattle the nation.
At Avengers Mansion in New York, the Black Panther receives a distress call from his people and he rushes there as quickly as possible. Arriving in his native land, Black Panther finds Doom, who is trying to repair a malfunction in his tunneler device. Unaware of the Panther's presence, Doom's guard is down allowing for the Panther to grab Doom's weapon and point it at Doom.
