Io #1

Oct 1994 · Invictus Studios · 2.25 USD; 2.75 CAD
“First Contact: Part One "Spontaneous Combustion"”

In *Io* #1, an enigmatic object hurtles from Jupiter’s moon Io and crashes into Los Angeles, setting off a chain of events that upends the city’s quiet rhythm. When the object reveals itself as an artificial life form, its creators come calling—driven by purpose, secrecy, and something far more urgent than mere retrieval. Written and illustrated by Matt Wilson, with colors by Heidi Loring and letters by Bonnie Hill, this first chapter of "First Contact: Part One – Spontaneous Combustion" blends eerie mystery with grounded sci-fi tension, all wrapped in a cover by Matt Wilson.
