Comments: The artwork is rich in detail, both in the characters and the backgrounds. The black-and-white presentation brings out these details beautifully. Ash-Aman is illustrated in the heat of battle, while the High Priest is depicted as a master of both magic and combat.
The King plans to marry Ka-I-Rah, and jealousy blooms as Ash-Aman becomes enamoured with her. This creates bad blood between the Priest and the King.
In some illustrations, Ka-I-Rah appears almost nude, even though she is not.
In ancient Atlantis, both magic and drama unfold. The court intrigue is strong. Who will prevail, Priest or King? The city’s denizens riot in the streets as they call for the blood of Ash-Aman.
Ash-Aman is imprisoned and faces punishment. The use of the Soul Staff may doom all of Atlantis. The King cares only about his own desires, while the Priest, though powerful, may not be able to stop him. The King risks everything to punish the Priest. Ash-Aman must draw upon all of his power, and that of the Soul Staff, and more, to save the world.
Ash-Aman is willing to sacrifice everything to save others. He is a hero in every sense of the word.
This is one adventure you will never forget as you journey into the ancient city of Atlantis and face magic, warriors, and mad kings. Only a true man, pure of heart and soul, can save the world.
