In "More Truth Than Fantasy!", legendary creator Will Eisner teams up with artist Lou Fine in a gripping tale from the Golden Age of comics, where a scientist’s dangerous invention sparks a race against time. When Professor Roberts vanishes after perfecting a volatile gas, his allies Darrel and Martha follow a trail of eerie lights and strange sounds to the waterfront—only for Doll Man to step in and confront the mystery head-on. With Lou Fine’s dynamic art bringing the suspense to life, this 2019 spotlight issue delivers a classic tale of science, danger, and heroism, all rendered in striking detail.
