Foton Effect

A short-lived but visually striking three-issue series from Aced/CA Comics, Foton Effect (1986–1987) paired writer Chris Coleman with artist Carol Perino. The story centered on a mysterious energy phenomenon and its impact on those who encountered it, blending science fiction with a moody, character-driven narrative. Though brief, the series stands out for Perino’s atmospheric art and Coleman’s tight, self-contained storytelling, offering a neat snapshot of mid-80s independent comics ambition.
