"Shark-Hunt" in Particle Dreams #1 (1986) introduces Keif Llama, dispatched to Caladrea—a moon of Iidossorn—to investigate disruptions in a mining operation run by massive fosstrics. When a worm expert, Simon Rieche, is called in, the team discovers the true source of the problem lies not in the creatures themselves, but in the mining company’s artificial atmosphere, which has triggered a chain reaction among microscopic worms embedded in the rock. Written and illustrated by Matt Howarth, with full creative control on both interior and cover, this issue blends ecological mystery with quiet, grounded sci-fi tension, all rendered in Howarth’s distinctive, detailed style.
