During 1951, on the East Coast of the United States, a priest, Father Mils finds himself suddenly thrust into a mystery. A mysterious disease that affects one of his parishioners. But then Fr Mils hears of others –one at a nearby hospital, and several similar cases in different parts of the United States.
Every time he tries to approach the patients to find a common link they whisked mysteriously away. Someone or some agency is desperate to make the patients disappear -but who and why?
For his first solo comic book Devig effectively and convincingly explores America’s post-war through the character of his endearing hero. Interpreted in a clear line style in perfect harmony with its subject, The Phantom Cruiser is based on actual events of the time, and the work of the engineer of Nikola Tesla on a “death ray”.
Right, I was going to write that Nikola Tesla and the “death ray” was a biy of a myth but this is, after all, comics! And the British government spent many thousandss in the pre-WW II period to try to perfect a death ray! But all I need write is “USS Eldridge”, “Philadelphia Experiment” and “Project Rainbow” -you should be able to do the rest yourself!
So, what happens to Fr. Mils? Now that would be telling!
Conspiracy, science fiction and pop culture all in one book.
