Monday Mecha Madness TERMINATOR "Down to Earth" Conclusion

When Last We Left Pop Culture's Most Famous Killer AI, SkyNet...

The combined human groups repel a Terminator assault, then retreat to the Slammers' hidden base.

Monday Mecha Madness TERMINATOR "Down to Earth" Part 1

Between the first Terminator  movie and Terminator 2: Judgment Day...
...a brand-new comics publisher secured the rights to do a sequel comic.
Note: the "three years since" reference is to 2028, the year The Terminator was sent into the past, not 1984, the year it arrived in the past.

Scripted by publisher Tony Caputo, penciled by Tony Akins, and inked by Jim Brozman, this never-reprinted adventure from NOW's Terminator #1 (1988) introduced the inhabitants of a moonbase untouched by SkyNet, who will prove vital to future storylines in comics, novels, roleplaying games, and the movies themselves.
BTW, it's not the premiere comics tale of the Terminator Multiverse!
That honor goes to a 5-page introduction in the back of NOW's Rust #12 (1988) which leads into this story.
Unfortunately, that book is extremely-expensive and I've never seen anybody else post scans of the Terminator back-up tale online!
