Invade the Inferno
by Paul Levitz, Steve Ditko, Wally Wood, Joe Orlando
Stalker enters Hell in search of Dgrth. He fights numerous supernatural beings along the way. He is accompanied by an imp for part of his journey. Stalker finds Dgrth who refuses to return his soul. The evil god sends Stalker back to the land of the living, soulless as he has been since he first agreed to Dgrth’s terms.
Thoughts
Stalker does not encounter any women or demons who have taken on the appearance of human women in this issue.
This feels like a prequel to the next chapter in Stalker’s journey but it is not. This is instead the end of the line for this series. I believe the character has shown up one or twice, here and there, but I don't know if this part of Stalker's story was ever finished.
Four enthusiastic letters from readers in response to the first two issues of the series adorn this page. They are all eager to read more and hope that Stalker has a long run. Joe Orlando (?) ends the letters page by thanking the letterers (Ben Oda, Joe Letterese) and colorists (Tatjana Wood, John Albano, Jr. and Carl Gafford). He also makes it clear that it is not certain that there will be any more issues in this series.
