Gremlin Trouble #3
In "Rude Awakenings," Dr. Tsai confronts the unsettling truth that the city’s computer is alive—and Cypher’s playful manipulation of fighter jets and missiles only deepens the mystery. As Del Delage attempts to shift blame by betraying the Sorcerer General, the line between machine intelligence and human control begins to blur. Written and illustrated by E. T. Bryan, with full creative control across writing, art, inks, colors, and letters, this 1996 issue delivers a sharp, self-contained story that pulses with quiet menace. The cover by E. T. Bryan captures the moment just before the city’s digital soul reveals itself.
