File:Ka-Zar Vol 3 12 001.jpg

Description
Ka-Zar finally meets Belasco, who has all of Ka-Zar’s friends under his control. Belasco informs him how he survived his battle against Dante and of his plans to magically open a portal to this world for his masters, the evil Elder Gods, with the help of the amulet Shanna found. Further, Shanna is to replace Beatrice Portinari as his bride. Before the eyes of the horrified Ka-Zar, Belasco forces the android Dherk to tear himself a part and for Buth to fly to what seems to be his death. Then Ka-Zar is put into a freezing chamber while Belasco plans to begin the ritual to summon the Elder Gods. However, Dherk is still conscious and manages to free Ka-Zar, who hurries to stop Belasco. He is helped by Buth, who in turn was saved by Zabu and a group of Arieans, as well as three descendants of Dante’s crew. Even as the incantation is done and the Elder Gods are about to breakthrough, Ka-Zar manages to grab the amulet and throw it into a volcano, effectively imprisoning the Elder Gods again. As a punishment, they seemingly make Belasco plummet to his death.
