“Trial by Fire”

In "Trial by Fire," journalist Hal Breese uncovers a long-buried weapon crafted by Leonardo da Vinci—only to find it stolen and dangerously close to falling into the wrong hands. With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, Breese must race against time to recover the device before it’s used to unleash chaos. Paul Parker’s art brings the mystery to life, while Mort Meskin and George Roussos deliver a striking cover that captures the tension of a secret too powerful to remain hidden.
