Written by Norah Smaridge and brought to life with evocative detail by artist Joe Sinnott—whose inks lend weight to every shadow and struggle—this story follows Father Walsh as he endures the harsh realities of war-torn China, from deadly disease to violent upheaval. The cover by Ray Holloway captures the gravity of the moment, setting the stage for a narrative that’s as much about endurance as it is about spirit.
