Disclose Notes: Page 1 of this reprinted segment (i.e. page 8 of the original) has been altered. A title has been added along with some new text recapping the story so far. The panels have been rearranged and resized. Panel 6 has been omitted; The UK editors removed all references to "Red" and the implication of the Communist threat, hence The Red Barbarian is referred to, throughout the story as "The Barbarian"; A new text box at the end of the story tells us that Kala, - an evil queen whose beauty is matched only by her deadliness - is lined up for next week's issue. Readers are urged not to miss out!
