Friday Fun TRAGG AND THE SKY GODS "Master of the Living Bones" Part 1

...but the world of Tragg and Lorn is about to take an abrupt and unexpected turn!
Editor's note: Ostellon previously appeared in Dagar #1 (1972) and #17 (1976) as well as Doctor Spektor #7 (1974)!
Your dinner's going to get cold, Keera, because an uninvited guest is coming!

To Be Concluded...
TOMORROW!
Ostellon previously appeared in both Dagar's and Doctor Spektor's Gold Key titles!
All those appearances took place, chronologically, after this never-reprinted "origin" in Gold Key's Tragg and the Sky Gods #7 by artist Dan Spiegle and writer/co-creator of all three series...Don Glut!
(Dagar was, like Conan and other barbarian heroes, set in Atlantis-era "pre-history", while Spektor ran around in the present-day 1970s!)
The most interesting concept, tossed rather casually into the story, is that Tragg and Lorn are, literally, the parents of the entire human race!
Tragg, Lorn, and Jarn (Tragg's brother) also crossed over into Spektor and Dagar's titles.

Reading Room TRAGG AND THE SKY GODS "Battle for a World" Conclusion

...as Zorek leads the alien Yargonians against Tragg and his allies!
The first major battle of the war ends in a resounding defeat for Zorek, but not without cost to the good guys including new-found ally Dazz and Yargonian Ferenk, whose last thoughts were of his unrequited love, Keera, who loves only Tragg, who loves only Lorn...
This never-reprinted tale by writer Don Glut and artist Dan Spiegle from Gold Key's Tragg and the Sky Gods #7 (1976) ends the primary story arc of the series, though the Yargonians would remain as supporting characters.
The next issue goes off on a totally-different tangent, as it...
a) introduces mysticism into the prehistoric world of Tragg, where science held sway!
b) crosses over to two other Gold Key titles, featuring cameos by their lead characters, and establishing a timeline for a unified Gold Key universe within those titles!
c) features a villain who had previously-appeared in both those books...though chronologically this would be his first appearance!
Confused?
You won't be after you read the next issue of Tragg and the Sky Gods, next Friday!
