Set in the same shared universe as Tom Strong and other America's Best Comics titles, the story follows the masked vigilante Greyshirt—a femme fatale with a mysterious past—as she investigates a series of strange events tied to a lost film and a secret society in the noir-tinged city of Indigo Sunset. The volume also includes a cover gallery and behind-the-scenes material from the creators.
In "The Lure," Rick Veitch delivers a pulse-pounding chapter of Greyshirt: Indigo Sunset, where Franky’s desperate fight for survival takes a shocking turn after a brutal clash with Chucky in the Purple Comics building. As Johnny closes in at the Pow! Art exhibit, the hunt for the Katz’s sapphires escalates—leading to a devastating explosion at Indigo Central Station, where both men vanish in the flames. Cover by Rick Veitch, this 2003 issue marks a pivotal moment in the series, with Veitch handling every aspect of the interior art and storytelling.
In "Jail Bait!" from *Greyshirt: Indigo Sunset*, young Candice "Candi" Lovelace finds herself caught between the ambitions of class president Plato Plutarch and the reckless charm of Johnny Apollo, while forming an uneasy bond with the street-smart Lips Lafayette. When a theft gone wrong lands Candi in the hands of Spats Katz, her loyalty is tested as old alliances fracture and dangerous choices come into play.
In "Swiped," pop artist Andy Savannah finds himself trapped in a dangerous game when he’s coerced by the fanatical Fanman to recreate iconic panels from the comic *Hoodlum Hit*. With his projector broken, Fanman’s enforcers, Cookie and The Zoo, drag the original artist Bernard Novak into the fray—only for Greyshirt to be captured and brought to Andy’s studio. As tensions spike and the line between art and violence blurs, the studio becomes a battleground where creativity and survival collide.
In "Who Killed Hoodlum Hit?", Byron Lord, the creator of the fictional *Hoodlum Hit* comic, is drawn into a real-life mystery when a mysterious woman calls to reveal the untold truth behind the downfall of Carmine Carbone. She recounts how Carbone was betrayed—first by Johnny Apollo, who colluded with Spats Katz and lured him and Franky into the abandoned mines beneath Indigo City, and later by Lips Lafayette, who turned him in to the police for his own safety.
In the shadow of the new Greyshirt statue, a man witnesses a betrayal that shatters his world—his wife with another man, caught in a moment that turns to violence. As the night unfolds, the weight of his actions pulls him into a relentless pursuit that ends in a fall from the city’s edge.
In "The Ballad of Franky and Johnny," a haunting melody by Songbird Ella Bly sets the tone for a tense, shifting game of betrayal and survival. Johnny, caught in a web of lies after conspiring with Candi Lovelace to kill Spats Katz, finds himself hunted when his own treachery turns against him. A mysterious phone call from Ella Bly—claiming Franky is with her—pulls Johnny into a final, unpredictable confrontation where loyalty and redemption hang in the balance.
In "Recognition!", master thief Bruno Imbroglio and cat burglar Sabra Desade cross paths in a high-stakes heist targeting the legendary Star of Indigo—a gem said to ignite powerful emotions. With tension simmering between them, the night becomes a test of skill, instinct, and something deeper than mere theft.
In "Know Your Fate," Franky confronts Chucky in the Purple Comics building, uncovering a deadly plot against him, only to be hunted by Johnny at the Pow! Art exhibit. With Candi and Katz's crew closing in, the two rivals flee to Indigo Central Station, where a sudden explosion leaves both presumed dead—though survival comes in unexpected forms.
In "Shroom!", Jack Hawkins' desperate plan to dispose of Greyshirt takes a bizarre turn when his yacht runs aground on an island that’s anything but solid—this is a rapidly expanding, waterborne fungus with a mind of its own. Written by the creators of Greyshirt: Indigo Sunset, the story unfolds as a tense, surreal encounter between man and something far more ancient and hungry than he ever expected.
In "The Last Mile," hours before her execution, Candi reaches out to Greyshirt and Plutarch with a desperate revelation: Johnny, long thought dead, is alive—and the mysterious Fanman behind Fanman Productions. With time running out, Greyshirt races to the mines to rescue Lips, Carmine, and Catherine, uncovering a chilling truth that could end the Lure’s reign—but at a cost only he can bear.
