   "The Graveyard of Cathedrals" (Rork ; 3) / Andreas ; J.-M.
   & R. Lofficier, translation. 61 p. in The Graveyard of
   Cathedrals ; Starlight (New York : Nantier Beall
   Minoustchine, 1990). -- Translation of: La Cimetière de
   Cathédrales. -- Summary: Professor Wallace de Wolff has
   found an early nineteenth-century painting of a gothic
   cathedral in a tropical rainforest, and curiosity leads him
   to learn of a group of renegade church architects called
   the Chavesians. The Chavesians had run afoul of the
   Inquisition, and were exiled to the New World by Queen
   Isabella, just a few years after Columbus's first voyage.
   After wandering in the wilderness for awhile, they found a
   spot in the Amazon jungle and began building cathedrals.
   Professor De Wolff, still only suspecting much of this,
   mounts an expedition to the Amazon which includes his son,
   Sidney, and his assistant, Fay McKee. Meanwhile, on another
   world, we find that at the end of the previous album Rork
   had teleported into a situation that has caused a cosmic
   imbalance, and the aliens decide they have to send him
   back. Rork lands, almost dead, in the company of the
   expedition just as they are being attacked by Indians. His
   presence saves the explorers, and they nurse him back to
   health. Rork is sensitive to forces coming from the
   cathedrals, and soon leads them there. An ancient madman
   tries to chase them away, and Rork identifies him as the
   evil force he felt. They find another man chained, and he
   seems to be the good force. Sidney de Wolff dies in a
   struggle with the madman at the center of a maze. They find
   another 500-year-old man, named Vosta, and release him from
   chains. Vosta tells the story of the colony. Rork tells
   Vosta that they'll meet again in a year, at Rork's house.
   The company breaks up, and on the way north Rork learns
   that Sidney's skeleton is inside the body of Vosta. In a
   wordless epilog Rork gets a message written in the language
   of the undersea civilization, and starts walking into a
   desert. -- Call no.: PN6747.A542G713 1990

   Summary: Rork studies for many years with Tanemanar, who is
   also called The Dream Master, and has one last thing to
   learn. A message comes from The Captain that it is time, so
   teacher and pupil journey to a kind of ships' graveyard
   where Rork rides a giant snail called the Passmaster to a
   snail cemetery on another planet. This is the great secret:
   teleportation. Tanemanar warns Rork that he can only do it
   once more, and then Pharas will show up and make him forget
   the secret. -- Call no.: PN6747.A542 R67213 1990

   it. In a chapter with no dialogue, only one caption, and
   other words only in monochromatic flashbacks from earlier
   chapters, Rork has to teleport to get out of the house, and
   is met immediately after by Pharas, who makes him forget
   the secret of teleportation. -- Call no.: PN6747.A542

   Lofficier, translation ; Karen Casey-Smith, lettering (New
   York : Nantier Beall Minoustchine, 1990). -- Summary:
   Pharas enters and makes Rork take off his dark cowl, and
   other clothing, to reveal that the clothes are empty and
   that Rork really isn't there. Pharas takes the assembled
   company into a spherical ship, apparently manned by people
   from the undersea civilization, and they journey to where
   Rork can be seen in suspended animation, caught between
   worlds. Deliah tries to free him with her powers, which
   Pharas thinks will ruin everything, when suddenly Adam
   Niels hits the spherical ship with an arrow to its fatal
   point, and blows it up. Adam has figured out that it was
   this ship that earlier destroyed his laboratory. Adam
   reveals that it was he who hired Raffington Stevens. In the
   confusion, Rork and Deliah have teleported together, but
   Pharas says they probably didn't arrive anywhere together.

   "Starlight" (Rork ; 4) / Andreas ; J.-M. & R. Lofficier,
   translation. 47 p. in The Graveyard of Cathedrals ;
   Starlight (New York : Nantier Beall Minoustchine, 1990). --
   Translation of: Lumière d'Étoile. -- Summary: Rork arrives
   at a little cliffside village in the Mexican desert, which
   has been preparing for a year for an astronomical event
   predicted by an ancient painting on the side of the cliff.
   The effort is being coordinated by Deliah Darkthorne, or
   Low Valley as she now prefers to be called. Low has aged 40
   years in the year and a half since teleporting at the end
   of the Passages album. She is the one who sent the note
   summoning Rork. Low doesn't understand what the "event" is
   going to be, only that a beam of light will come down from
   the sky and that it will have transformational powers. Low
   has placed experiments in the path of the beam, like a
   mouse, a cactus, and an apple. The beam comes, and things
   change, but the results aren't very comprehensible. Low
   takes Rork to another room and shows him her daughter,
   Sy-Ra, who is floating in the air stuck between worlds as
   Rork was near the end of "Passages." Low wants Rork to take
   Sy-Ra to an astrologer to get her fixed up, and Rork
   agrees. Then Low eats the apple from the beam experiment,
   and seems to gain a new sense of well-being and extended
   perceptions. She tells Rork they'll meet again in nine
   months, at his house. -- Call no.: PN6747.A542G713 1990
