The Unexpected #198
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Rage of the Phantom Brain!", August Breuger's mind is kept alive by being wired into a computer after his body is gone—only to be exploited by his ambitious assistant, who seeks to harness the brain's psychic abilities for personal gain. Written by Carl Wessler and brought to life with dynamic art by Dick Ayers, inks by Dan Adkins, and colors by Jerry Serpe, this 1980 DC classic blends sci-fi dread with a chilling twist on immortality. The cover by Jim Starlin captures the eerie spectacle with his signature intensity.
When August Breuger has his brain removed and linked to a machine to keep him alive, his assistant Hugo Mauche begins to exploit the severed mind’s strange powers—unaware of the dangerous consequences that may be stirring in the machine. As Professor Langer watches in growing unease, the line between life, mind, and madness begins to blur.
