"Ghost of the Deep" delivers a classic caper with a twist, as Captain Marvel takes matters into his own hands after Central Park’s latest string of robberies. Written by Ed Herron and brought to life by the legendary art team of C. C. Beck and Mac Raboy—whose dynamic pencils and inks define the era—this 2024 PS Artbooks Softee issue captures the bold spirit of vintage superhero storytelling. The cover, also by Mac Raboy, perfectly frames the mystery with its striking, period-accurate flair.
