Hercules
Hercules seeks shelter in a cave where in the smoke of his fire Zeus and Hera appear. She then offers up a fourth task: get her some Golden Apples found in the other-dimensional world of Nul. He leaps into the portal and out in a desert landscape. There he meets a giant named Atlas who is chained and holding up a giant stone slab. Hercules throws the chain of Atlas into one of these rocks and frees the giant. Atlas takes Hercules to the Golden Apples and tells him that time is different in Nul and Hercules returns with the prize much to Hera's displeasure but Zeus is very happy.

Hercules Letters to the Editor
Features four letters, two by Canadians. There is the usual praise for the Hercules and Thane of Bagarth and recommendations. One letter writer would like to see Son of Vulcan replace Thane of Bagarth but the editors reject this idea and point out that reading nothing but superheroes would be dull. There is a great little thumbnail portrait of Hercules by Glanzman done in a more realistic style.

Thane of Bagarth
Thane of Bagarth
The story starts with Hrothelac captured by Vikings and chained aboard a Viking galley as a slave. The leader of the Vikings is Figlaf and he imagines where they are headed, a new world beyond the great ocean and he wishes to explore it for his king. Meanwhile King Beowulf seeks out a soothsayer who reveals to him in magic mists that Eowanda the new Thane of Bagarth will lead Beowulf's forces in battle and get great fame. Beowulf is at once confused and threatened by this prediction. He rides back to his castles as Hrothelac suffers under the lash. A storm is building as the chapter closes.
