Weird War Tales #69
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Phantom with My Face!", Major Preston—once a man who lived for war—awakens centuries after being frozen in suspended animation to find a world transformed. Stranded in a city shielded from the chaos beyond, he’s branded a threat by its people, accused of carrying the same deadly plague that’s turned others into mad mutants. Written by Jack Oleck and brought to life by Alex Niño’s striking art and Jerry Serpe’s vivid colors, this eerie tale explores isolation and identity in a world where violence is both a disease and a legacy. The cover, by Joe Kubert, captures the story’s haunting tension.
In a war-torn future where time has folded in on itself, Major Preston awakens from centuries of suspended animation to a world that fears him as a carrier of the very plague he once thrived on—violence. Trapped in a city shielded from the madness beyond, he’s branded an infected outsider, condemned to isolation not for disease, but for the sins of his past. As the host of the tale, Death watches quietly, a silent witness to a man who can’t escape the war within.
