In "Mask of Romney," Tony Blake lives a life haunted by a strange pattern: every year on the 15th of March, he’s caught in a series of bizarre accidents, and though he’s never studied it, he speaks Latin with ease. His mind, sharp and calculating, mirrors the legendary tactics of Julius Caesar, leading those around him to wonder if fate—or something deeper—is shaping his path. With art by John Rosenberger and a striking cover by Pat Masulli and Dick Giordano, this 1984 Alan Class issue blends mystery and myth in a story that lingers long after the final page.

Tony Blake [Julius Caesar]

Tony Blake lives with a strange, recurring pattern: every year on the 15th of March, something goes wrong. He speaks Latin fluently despite never learning it, and his decisions—especially in high-stakes strategy—seem to mirror the fate of Julius Caesar. In "Beware the Ides of March!", his life begins to feel less like coincidence and more like prophecy.
