Story

RARE ORIGINAL BATMAN ART ADDED!

COMPASS COMICS presents the MUST HAVE comic book of 2021!

Hello, my friends and welcome to the second Compass Comics IGG campaign! I’m Graham Nolan, a 38 year veteran of the comic book industry, writer/artist and long time Batman illustrator as well as the co-creator of Bane! I am having the time of my life creating a new universe that is centered around horror, monsters, sci-fi and the supernatural. All of my books will interconnect to form a connected universe that my characters and events will cohabitate. I am passionate about comics and the art form. I hope you are too and will come along for the ride!

Thanks for taking a look and backing true independent comics!

Best,

Graham

The Story

It’s 1957 and the Russians have just launched Sputnik into orbit. The world was changing and WWII veteran Travis Houston was struggling to adapt.

All Travis wanted when he mustered out of the Marine Corps, at the end of WWll, was some peace and quiet and a safe place to raise his son, James, but the horrors he experienced in the Pacific, and the death of his wife, have left him empty and distant.

The meteor shower changed all that. Only it wasn’t a meteor shower. It was an invasion. Creatures from another world want ours, and the only thing standing between them and us is a man, a boy, and his dog.

The Houstons are vastly outnumbered, but they are Texans and they have each other…so the odds might just be even.
