Written by E. Nelson Bridwell and illustrated by Bill Ely, this surreal journey explores the cost of time and memory, as Ordway returns to find the civilization he helped has vanished—leaving him haunted by a past that no longer exists. The story’s haunting tone is matched by Nick Cardy’s striking cover, a vivid portrait of a world both alien and eerily familiar.
