Featuring the first appearance of Stormy Tempest and Astron! Another Paragon classic, now commanding extreme prices in the collector's market (IF you can find a collector willing to part with it)! A strange craft crash lands on the Dark Continent, leading Tara into battle with a man-eating underwater plant and an encounter with a being from another world in “Challenge from the Stars” by Bill Black. Then, learn “How to Draw Tara” from Bill Black. Next up, Tara experiences a psychedelic vision during an attack from an alien being and winds up captured by none other than “Dr. Rivits I Presume?” (This is the first appearance of Dr. Rivits, who would survive to become one of Tara and the Femforce’s greatest foes). Then it’s a pictorial centerfold section featuring the stunning Victoria Vetri as a savage cavewoman from `When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth`.

Then it’s another first appearance of a popular character (who will also appear in his own movie)… witness the debut of Astron! Who is this strangely-garbed interdimensional being? Is he a hero? Or a cold-blooded murderer? Find out in “Encounter” by Bill Black.
