Issue #1 - The Ashen Specter

New York City, 1986. Beneath the rain-slicked neon and corporate corruption of Manhattan, shadow cartels and privatized defense syndicates rule the midnight hours. When a rogue faction deploys seismic demolition charges across the Lower East Side, billionaire prodigy and vigilante engineer Alphard Ilphardo takes to the streets as THE ASHEN SPECTER. Equipped with an impenetrable beast-hide trench coat, an 8-ton armored muscle tank (THE CAVIN), a 90cm lightning-charged combat blade, and the cold calculating logic of his proprietary TANTAR AI, Alphard wages a lethal war of attrition against urban terror. But lurking beneath Wall Street's Federal Reserve lies Senator Octanotaroland—a titan mutated by ancient radioactive ichor tracing back to the 1919 Facility Sub-Seven disaster. Justice was never blind. It was armored. A complete 24-page neo-noir graphic novel experience. Created & Directed by Amir Hook // AmirHook Studios.
