In "The Island of Red Blackett," a beggar in 1948 Bombay spins a tale of intrigue and hidden identities, weaving together the shadowy past of Baron von Emmelman and the elusive Q-4, a man tied to the origins of WW1 who vanished into Argentina. Written and illustrated by Carmine Infantino, with inks by Leonard Starr, this story unfolds through a series of revelations that unsettle Captain Morgan, who has long pursued Q-4—especially when he learns of the mysterious Maria and her connection to the vanished war figure. The cover, by Dan Zolnerowich, captures the mystery of a faraway island and the weight of secrets buried in the past.
