Synopsis:
Stella Stargaze, aided by her hypnotic eye, "persuades" TV
personality Hidalgo Romero to finance the show she plans to
air featuring the hatching of an alien egg. After Romero
leaves, Stella calls Jungle Island to get a status report
from Marimon, a technician she has secretly hired to
incubate the egg. Right after their conversation, a flaw in
the incubator causes an explosion, killing Marimon and
stunning Janis Lawson. As Tara arrives on the scene, a huge
alien form shambles from the lab and carries Janis into the
jungle. Tara pursues it, but to her astonishment, the
creature sets Janis down gently instead of harming her.
Suddenly, Tara is clubbed and captured by Dr. Rivits, who
explains how he escaped an almost certain death in the
helicopter crash. T.C. Fremont, having received news of the
lab explosion, races to the island in his own jet, which Dr.
Rivits later steals to make good his escape.

As noted in the letters page of FF 12, this story
incorporates reprinted material from Tara #2 (Paragon
Publications).... An answer to a letter in the LOC indicates
that She-Cat only has nine lives to rejuvenate herself....
Rivits credits his highly developed body to what he learned
from the alien life he encountered earlier.... Hidalgo is
called Hildalgo here (the first L is dropped in the next
issue.)

Laura Wright watches late night TV, absorbed in self-pity and

emerge from the TV and attack her. Others quickly follow, and

dimension inhabited by Alizarin Crimson. The evil sorceress strips
Nightveil of her cloak (and her hair), planning to make Laura her

Notes:
This story is a prelude to the next 3-issue story arc - the war
with Alizarin Crimson.... Crimson's comments indicate she and
Nightveil have been antagonists for a long time.... Nightveil
is watching the Letterman show when she is attacked. |
