Synopsis
A group of hill-men attack Conan’s party, whittling them down to a
handful of men. Captain Malthuz calls for a retreat and the group takes
refuge in a cave. The hill-men, trap them inside, and offer a bargain: a
Turanian champion will fight a hill-man to the death. Malthuz accepts
the challenge, and states that only magic sword could hope to beat the
hill-man champion, Toruk. This causes Conan to reminisce finding a magic
sword some time ago. When sundown approaches, Conan knocks Captain
Mathuz out and takes his place. Conan is outmatched physically, but
manages to direct the mountainous hill-man to a pile of precariously
placed boulders. Conan causes a landslide and buries Toruk, who happens
to be carrying the same magical sword Conan found some years ago. The
Turanians are allowed to leave in peace.

Synopsis
After using Gog to subdue Ka-Zar, Plunderer explains how he had been
drawn to the Savage Land by the same reports of monster-sightings as the
Daily Bugle staff back when Spider-Man first encountered Gog. Plunderer
rescued Gog from the quicksand where he was left for dead and
unexpectedly gained a mental bond with him due to the alien’s developing
mental capacity. They went on to forge an alliance with Gemini and AIM
in their plan to steal the super-soldier serum.
Morse and Zabu arrive in a SHIELD helicopter. While Zabu fights
Gemini and Gog, Bobbi attempts to bargain with Plunderer. He refuses and
orders Gog to teleport them to AIM’s English HQ. Instead, Gog teleports
everyone to Liberty Island and doubles in size in the process.
Plunderer realizes that he’s lost mental control of Gog as the monster
tears the torch-bearing arm off the Statue of Liberty in his attempts to
communicate with it. When Gog teleports away with Zabu, Bobbi and
Ka-Zar work together to get the serum back from Gemini and Plunderer
before the villains escape. They then find Gog, larger still, straddling
the roofs of the twin towers of the World Trade Center with Zabu
cowering near one of his feet. Just as Bobbi and Ka-Zar’s aircraft
reaches Gog, he speaks his alien language and disappears in one last
burst of teleportation, leaving Ka-Zar to suspect Gog merely wished to
be free of Earth and embrace his true fate among the stars.
Meanwhile, AIM’s Professor Conrad has re-discovered the original
super-soldier formula in a hidden lab at Land’s End. A SHIELD agent
tracks him down and attempts to take it, but with overwhelming
resistance from AIM’s guards, he’s forced to use an explosive to destroy
everything in the lab, including himself. Conrad saves himself by
taking the serum, and so he emerges from the flames as the sole
survivor, with the power to crush anyone who stands in his way.
