Story by Jon Vassa

What happens when Humans discover gateways to other dimensions? What happens when a private dick has to traverse some of the most hostile of these dimensions looking for a very special artifact, known as the Ipthian Crystal? Believe me when I say, he ain’t in Kansas anymore. Question is, will he get back out alive?

Next Week: 

The Cabanga Situation.  By Nick Swain, Art by Toe Keen

Next week we’ll feature an old-school gangland story.  Mike Finley remembered a time when Frank Scarlin didn’t have to speak a word to make his point understood; he’d just show the gun under his arm and that point would get across.  Now the two of them sat in the closed, deserted bar waiting for the Sword of Damocles to fall.  Frank’s rival Vincetti was finally gonna make his move…the show-down to end all show-downs.  This story has more twists than a king-sized rollercoaster!  You don’t want to miss it.
