“I Was Born About Ten Thousand Years Ago”

In "I Was Born About Ten Thousand Years Ago," Cable forms an unexpected bond with a Neanderthal man running a diner in modern-day America, unaware that the man’s hidden treasure draws the attention of his ancient kin. Michael Ryan’s expressive art, with inks by Ted Pertzborn and cover by Ryan and Pertzborn, brings this strange, poignant encounter to life, as Cable finds himself caught between protecting a lost relic and a man who’s lived longer than any history book records.
