The Rook

The Rook

by Barry Reese, Anthony Castrillo (Cover art)

A veil of darkness is descending on the world. Evil forces are rising across the globe. Supernatural madmen vie for control of vast mystical energies, their goal to enslave the world and bend reality to their will. The conflict between light and darkness is raging--with only a handful of brave adventurers risking their lives and very souls to stem the rising tide of evil! The Rook wages relentless war against diabolical foes to save the innocent from obliteration! Aided by his beautiful wife Evelyn, police chief Will McKenzie, and a new cast of allies, the vision-haunted vigilante battles Nazi occultists, zombies, Asian super-villains, and other unnatural menaces all bent on destruction! Written by veteran author Barry Reese, this third collection of six new tales in the saga of THE ROOK will thrill all fans of pulse-pounding pulp action! Cover Art by Anthony Castrillo, a professional illustrator who has worked for Valiant Comics (Timewalker, Bloodshot), DC Comics (The Flash) and Marvel Comics (X-Force).
