“The Phantom with My Face!”

In "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.

Major Preston was a man who thrived on war. He is accidentally placed in suspended animation for centuries. When he awakens, he avoids mad mutants, then finds a city protected by a force field. The inhabitants of the city say he is infected by the same plague that the mutants have, and they place him in a prison cell. He is to be isolated for the rest of his life so that the plague doesn't spread. The plague's name is violence.
