King of the Skies
Episode #: 2
Original Air Date: 9/22/1987
Written by: Francis Moss


Episode Summary

Mission Command Central receives word that someone has escaped the Zone! Not knowing how this is possible, the Zone Riders investigate and find out the escapee is none other than "King Donovan", a mentor and "second father" to Dirk Courage. What the they don't realize, however, is that he was sent out intentionally by Overlord to lure the Zone Riders into a deadly trap.

Episode Notes

An interesting episode where Overlord plays on Dirk Courage's loyalty to Donovan to try and eliminate the Zone Riders. And unlike most cartoons released during this era, we see a main character get seriously injured... and in the second episode of the season no less! I particularly enjoyed the climax and ending of this episode as well.
