When the world-famous escapologist Harry Houdini slips into
a near-death state while practising his act, something horrible
from the boundaries of consciousness follows him back. Now
Houdini must join forces with the era's most famous aficionados
of the uncanny - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Charles Fort and
H.P. Lovecraft - and try to defeat an evil force which wants
to enslave the human race. However, this intrepid group must
not only face the enemy's terrifying agents on Earth, but
also a traitor in their midst. Not to mention the dire, eldritch
horrors which lurk just beyond the veil of sanity...
Necronauts
is a bizarre tale of monsters, mystery and near-death experiences.
What is waiting for us on the other side once we traverse
the physical realm that we call consciousness? The world's
greatest escapologist discovers the answers himself when he
is almost killed rehearsing for his act.
What
he finds awaiting in the dark is something that should frighten
every living soul - Heaven and Hell are not awaiting us. There
is something much more sinister in store for humanity as it
passes to the other side.
Rebellion
illustrate perfectly why Britain is at the the forefront of
mature and original comic book creations. While the US churn
out Superhero nonsense, we Brits are handling the genre as
though it were another art form. Clever, thought provoking
and tongue in cheek, this collection will appeal to those
who prefer their comic books to stimulate the old grey matter.
But,
where this collection stands out is the repro job that Rebellion
have done on it. This is not just a graphic novel, it is a
work of art. Glossy pages of the highest quality paper, bound
inside a high quality cover ensure that this will take pride
of place on any collector's bookshelf.
Refreshingly
original.
