Invisible Men: The Trailblazing Black Artists of Comic Books #[nn]

"Death Bait" from Invisible Men: The Trailblazing Black Artists of Comic Books (2020, IDW; Yoe Books) is a gripping tale of jealousy and unintended consequence, written and illustrated with striking precision by Robert Pious. When scientist Terry unleashes a spectroscope meant to eliminate his rival Ken, the device claims his life—and awakens a malevolent spirit from the planet Algol. As the ghost of Algol hunts Ken and Nancy, their desperate flight ends in a crash, leaving Ken transformed and the line between the living and the dead dangerously blurred. The cover, a striking collaboration by Matt Baker, E. C. Stoner, and John Terrell, captures the eerie tension of a story where science and the supernatural collide.
