“Book One: Stormy Passage”

In "Book One: Stormy Passage," Ray finds himself stranded in the Amazon after a crash leaves him reduced to just six inches tall, thrust into a hidden world of tiny inhabitants beneath the jungle canopy. Written by Jan Strnad and brought to life with bold, detailed art by Gil Kane—both interior and cover—this issue kicks off a surreal journey where scale becomes a battlefield of survival and discovery.
