A new arc for Space Ghost kicks off in Space Ghost #4 with the prison escape of Zorak who is framed here as Space Ghost's most dangerous villain, a mad man obsessed with sacrificing lives to his god. Refusing to allow Jan and Jace to accompany him, Space Ghost leaves Ghost Planet in search of his enemy. However, choosing to answer a distress call, his two young sidekicks are the ones who stumble upon Zorak who now plans to use the pair as leverage to get what he needs from the hero.
Given his history, it's a little difficult to take Zorak seriously as a villain. However, the comic certainly puts in the work her to make him feel like a dangerous and unbalanced threat not only to our heroes but the entire universe. Meanwhile, Space Ghost has his own troubles as he runs across Titanor in a trap sprung by Zorak. It takes the hero most of the issue to beat the giant robot only then to learn what new trouble Jan and Jace have gotten themselves into.
