Star Brand #9

In "Where Walks the True Believer!", Ken Connell grapples with haunting dreams after Tad Selby’s funeral, leading him to Dr. Lucian Ballad’s sleep therapy clinic. There, under the guidance of Keith Remsen—whose own mind reveals a hidden identity as Nightmask—Connell confronts the guilt he carries and begins to reconcile his grief. Written by Cary Bates and illustrated by Keith Giffen, with Bob Wiacek’s inks and Andy Yanchus’s colors, this powerful issue explores trauma and transformation, all under Michael Higgins’s striking cover.
