Journey into Unknown Worlds #50
In "The Fog!", a WWII destroyer lies crippled in the Mediterranean, its survivors washed ashore on an island that eerily mirrors the mythic trials of Odysseus. Capt. Niles Ulysses Barret and his crew soon find themselves caught in a haunting reenactment of Book 9 of the Odyssey, where ancient legend blurs with desperate reality. Jack Davis’s dynamic art brings the mythic nightmare to life, while Bill Everett’s striking cover captures the island’s eerie isolation.
