Morgan's Angels : Tara - Page 6 





     Since the Therans didn't know they held the Queen of Shamballah at least
Morgan didn't have to worry about them using her as a hostage.  He came up
with the idea of breaking the siege by sending troops swimming through the
now flooded ruins of the computer complex beneath the city to flank the
Therans.  Of course they'd have to go unarmoured which was going to complicate
things.  Plus for them to reach a good position to strike with maximum effect
the Therans had to be distracted.
     Morgan had blasted his way into the city using an ancient Atlantean laser
weapon which was now exhausted but again the Therans didn't know that so he
tried a bluff.











     Seeing a signal arrow that showed the men were in position Morgan quickly
dispatched Brador but the Shamballan warcry complicated things.








     The Therans were defeated and Morgan used the victory to throw away his
cursed sword Hellfire.  He was finally reunited with Tara but it didn't last.
As Tara had known it wouldn't but Morgan still refused to acknowledge.
     She had known from the start that their happiness would be brief.  There
was a wanderlust in his soul and she knew that even her love could not hold
him for long ... No, she had never expected her love to hold him for long.
But somehow ... he had! - Warlord 43
     So the pattern of their relationship continued and still does according
to 1992's Warlord miniseries "Ballard".
     One final observation.  During Mike Grell's tenure as cover artist Tara
never appeared in the traditional Damsel in Distress role.  Oh she'd often be
facing danger but never waiting on someone else to rescue her,  For that we
had to wait until long after the comic had been passed on to (IMHO) lesser
talents among DC's writers.
