Oh yeah, that little 1992 one‑shot “Sandstorm at Seaside” from *The Beach Guard*—the guy who thinks a sandstorm is a heroic challenge. The hero, originally a washed‑up surfer who got a sand‑shaped lightning bolt, ends up using a sand‑shield to save the beach from a freak dune‑tornado. The art is that classic 90s splash‑page style, and the writer even gave the villain a name that sounds like a bad pun—“Dry Dune.” I once had a copy in my collection; it’s a real relic, though the dust on those pages still feels like a tide rolling in.

It’s the kind of gag that turns a sand‑storm into a metaphor for “be ready when the tide comes in” and that’s why the old fans love it, but if you’re asking for a deep philosophical lesson, it’s mostly a nostalgic nod to the days when a villain’s name could be a pun and a hero’s cape was sand. So, yeah, a lesson if you call “being prepared for unexpected sand‑storms” a lesson, but mostly it’s just a throwback that reminds you how comics used to make a hero out of a freaky weather event.
