Dragonfire #3 Night Wynd, 1992, b&w.
s Dragonfire #3 cover The team cannot find the trail that Maire's abductors left. For the entire night, Neji, Simon, Swift, and Lee have been chained with their hands over their heads, sitting against a rounded backing which can be raised. All are shirtless. Simon tells them, "I got a numb bum." Swift, the macho dude, tries to make them all remain calm. A little troll like man called Mongo forces food into Simon's mouth but Simon spits the food out at Mongo. Mongo uses a bone lever in the skull device to raise the boy's bodies up, making them stand. He raises them above the ground. Simon is sorry for the others and tells them so. The man has brought in a few clones for Maire to practice on. She is in a bikini now and had a fall as part of a test. He now wants her to set some clones on fire. Maire would never hurt any innocent. She puts a happy spell on one of the clones and he giggles. The man takes the clone out and chokes him to death. He slobbers as he does it and hopes to drain Maire and then kill her, too. Mark, Kohl, and Kam fly over NYC in spaceship. Kohl flies out to find Maire if he can. Mark wants Maire to show him where they have her. Mongo tells Simon, who is insulting to him, that he is going to enjoy watching his flesh crawl off his body, calling him blondie again. Neji tells Simon to hang in there. As the boys are walked out, Neji appears to be taller than the other three (not so in other shots). Is Neji older? Maire seems drugged and can't remember too much, except that she is some kind of a witch. Around a giant skull the four boys are tied, Neji by the right eye, Lee by the left, Swift in the nose and over the mouth, and Simon above the head. Maire feels power building inside her. Kohl feels the power and goes flying into the building. Maire wonders if this is all right. Men shoot up at Kohl. The boys get loose. Neji kicks Mongo. Lee uses a stick to fight Mongo. AlloyóMark punches Mongo in the head, "Bugger off, bonehead." Kam cuts the head off one of the hooded men and kicks Mongo's face. Everything starts to shake. Simon tells them that the evil one has Maire.
