Future Comics introduces a new kind of protagonist to their universe: the mystic marauder known in the deepest shadows as... Deathmask! A Native American shaman, Deathmask had gined fame as an illusionist, augmenting trickery with actual magic, until he'd suffered an unimaginable loss at the hands of organized crime. Now vengeance is his god, and he serves that deity with zeal, blood and abandon. Wielding a quantum science so advanced tht it can only be viewed as supernatural, St. Synn fights fire with fire, relishing the agony he brings to those who would cause pain to innocent citizens. To him, justice is worth any cost - even the dark price he himself had paid to gain his powers.

'Future Comics' Mystic Marauder can manipulate quantum energies with the power of his mind-resulting in miraculous feats that are perceived as magic by those unfortunate enough to be on the receiving end. In this issue, Deathmask must escape the clutches of scientists who are determined to discover the secrets of how he taps into those quantum powers-even if they kill him in the process!

The mystic marauder's violent vengeance comes back to haunt him - literlly! What stalks the Arizona desert isn't human, and it's coing for...Deathmask!

The mystic marauder's mask comes to the attention of an obsessed collector, a man who will go to any extreme to possess it. Plus, the secret behind Jacob Nakai's first encounter with the Deathmask. Cardstock cover by Ron Lim and Bob Layton.

Is it magic, or merely a science so different we cant comprehend it? Whatever the Deathmask represents, mystically powered relic hunter, Blitz Jager, is determined to make it his own, even if that means prying it from Jacob Nakais cold, dead body! Cover by Dick Giordano.
