The Food of the Gods (continued . . .)

















	



















	
















	
	Janno dived headlong for the undergrowth, with
	projectiles slashing past him like meteorites.

	
	He lay still, while his merciless pursuers
	searched the forest all round him.

	
	
	
	
	No sign of
	him. He’s
	escaped us.

	
	
	
	
	What does it
	matter ? He’s
	a nobody.

	
	The self-appointed leader of the super-creatures
	produced a handful of the deadly fruit.

	
	
	
	
	We will
	continue
	with our
	plans of
	conquest.
	But first . . .
	we will
	feast again
	off the
	food of
	the gods.

	
	Janno stayed hidden till nightfall.
	He then set off for Trigan City,
	reaching there at daybreak.

	
	I’ll report to my
	uncle at once.
	Those boys are a real
	danger and must be
	stopped immediately.

	
	But . . .

	
	
	
	
	Look !
	It’s Janno !

	
	
	
	
	Cut him
	down !

	
	Only Janno’s quick wits and lightning
	physical reactions saved him.

	
	By all
	the stars !


























	

















	
















	
	Why are my
	own people
	shooting at
	me on sight ?

	
	He soon learned the answer . . .

	
	
	
	
	Did we
	get him ?

	
	
	
	
	I hope so ! We’ll be
	commended by the
	Emperor for wiping
	out the traitor who
	attacked the air base.

	
	I’ve been
	declared
	a traitor !

	
	Following the mysterious attack upon
	the air base, the Trigan armoured
	corps were put on the alert.

	
	None of the soldiers took any notice of a group of boys watching nearby.

	
	
	
	
	We’ll take
	these war-
	machines
	and use them
	to destroy
	Trigan City !

	
	Peric was working in his laboratory
	that fateful morning, when a sound
	at the open window made him turn.

	
	
	
	
	Peric.

	
	
	
	
	Aaaaah . . . You.

	
	The great scientist’s hand
	groped for a button . . .

	
	
	
	
	Peric.
	Something
	terrible is
	happening . . .

	
	Immediately, the young Air
	Fleet pilot was enveloped in
	twin clouds of choking red gas !

	
	
	
	
	Aaaaaaagh !

	
	
	
	
	Fool ! Do you
	think I am without
	protection here ?

The Secret Assassin (continued . . .)

















	

















	
















	
	Janno climbed the tallest tree he could find. Far across the
	wilderness of greenery, he saw the distant glint of water.

	
	Then, with a blood-chilling screech and
	the beat of heavy wings—IT came !

	
	The tree shook
	under the impact
	of deadly talons.

	
	From down below, the
	assassin’s strange fire-
	arm spoke silent death !


























	

















	
















	
	Janno and Kittu rigged up a litter to carry the injured pilot.

	
	They struck out in the direction of the river—through
	the most hazardous country on all the planet Elekton !

	
	For three of them, at least, there was an urgent
	reason for haste. Three minds, each with a
	single, burning desire . . .
