The Fellowship has obtained a first look at THE SKEPTICS
#1 from Black Mask Studios. The issue, which hits stores October 26th, is
written by Tini Howard with art and cover by Devaki Neogi, colors by Jen Hickman and letters
by Aditya Bidikar.
A stylish, political adventure about a pair of hip,
clever teens who fool the world into believing they have superpowers. It is the
1960s. The Russians have the A-bomb, the H-bomb, and now the most terrifying
weapon of all: a pair of psychically superpowered young people. Terrified and
desperate, the US top brass scours from coast to coast in search of psychic
Americans. Enter Dr. Isobel Santaclara, an eccentric illusionist and grifter
who has recruited two teenagers and trained them to trick the US government,
the Russians, and the whole world into believing they are dangerous psychics.
The Skeptics is a pre-punk period piece, a sort of honest, unfuzzy,
non-nostalgic look at the Cold War in DC.
