Planetary #13

"Century" in Planetary #13 (2001) delivers a gripping, retro-futuristic mystery as young Elijah Snow uncovers the final threads of a secret society from the early 1900s. Written by Warren Ellis and illustrated with striking precision by John Cassaday—whose dynamic pencils and inks define the issue’s visual tone, with Laura DePuy’s colors and Bill O'Neil’s lettering completing the package—this story brings together legendary figures like the Invisible Man, H.G. Wells, Baron Frankenstein, his Monster, Robor, Carnacki, Sherlock Holmes, and Dracula, all entangled in a hidden legacy. The cover by John Cassaday captures the era’s eerie grandeur, setting the stage for a tale where the detective and the vampire remain the last missing pieces.
