The Phantom Stranger #15

In a remote African village, cyberneticist John Kweli returns home to find his people displaced by the brutal tactics of an oil company. Determined to protect his heritage, he creates a towering, metallic avatar of the ancient god Chuma—only to discover the machine begins to act with a will of its own, blurring the line between myth and machine. With the help of the enigmatic Phantom Stranger, a skeptical doctor, and a wary witch doctor, Kweli must confront the consequences of awakening something far older—and more alive—than he ever imagined.

When the frontman of Satan's Sextet begins leading a group of young partygoers—and their middle-aged host, Willard Wentworth—into a hypnotic trance at a beach house party, the line between music and madness dissolves. As the tide pulls them toward a watery fate, Wentworth barely escapes, only to seek out the enigmatic Doctor Terrence Thirteen to uncover the dark truth behind the band’s eerie performance.
