As his mysterious persona unfolds, the truth reveals a startling secret: Thoron is not from Earth at all, but an alien visitor from the planet Asperia, taking a rare vacation among humans. Penciled and inked by Kurt Schaffenberger, this 1981 tale blends mystery and sci-fi charm, with a striking cover by Ogden Whitney.
Tony Blake lives with a strange pattern: every year on the 15th of March, something goes wrong, and he speaks Latin without knowing how. As a brilliant military strategist, his decisions echo those of a man history remembers—Julius Caesar—though he’s never studied the past. The question isn’t just where his knowledge comes from, but what the future holds when the Ides of March returns.
Mary, a sharp-eyed reporter, finds herself captivated by the enigmatic Thoron the Great, whose dazzling performances blur the line between magic and the impossible. When her curiosity leads her to uncover the truth, she discovers Thoron isn’t just a master of illusions—he’s an alien visitor from the distant planet Asperia, using Earth as a temporary retreat.
