- The Stalker in the Night! · 17 pages
The local sheriff decides to bring Steve and Brandy up on charges for assisting Rom whom the authorities consider to be a murderer. Rom finds himself at the bottom of a mine shaft where he encounters Serpentyne. The creature tells him of a previous encounter with Ms. Marvel and also explains his hatred of the Dire Wraiths. Discovering that Rom possesses a weapon that can banish Wraiths forever, Serpentyne attacks him so that he can be the sole slayer of the Wraiths.
Publisher’s description
Reeling from his battle with the monstrous Deathwing, Rom falls back into a shallow grave which gives way under his weight and sends the Spaceknight plummeting down into the depths of the earth. Far below, Rom soon discovers he is not alone. He comes face to face with Serpentyne, the Stalker in the Night.
