The limited edition preview issued for ComicCon in July 2003 and the first 4 issues of the original publication in comic book format of this graphic novel, a psychic-science fiction thriller. Publisher's Weekly called it "a standout. Moore and his crew of artists. . realize that menaces are more…frightening when they're only glimpsed in oppressive shadows. . Back in the 1980s, a giant underground supercollider apparently went wild and released radiation that killed everyone present. It's been sealed ever since. Now, the lead experimenter's daughter, who's grown up shunning science, accompanies an exploratory team reentering the gloomy site, where they find no bodies, no radiation, just the word "PARA" scrawled on the walls in blood. Threatening, wraithlike creatures, government treachery and portents of the end of the world soon ensue. The supercollider's deserted tunnels are spooky in themselves, and Para's art team uses their darkness effectively as background for the explorers' personal conflicts." Covers by Stephan Martiniere. Each issue 30-32 pp with interior drawings in full color. Preview is 10 pp with the contents in black and white, bound dos-a-dos with a preview for Captain Gravity. Fine in glossy illustrated stapled wrappers.
