The story of ETHOS: Heroes Lost Issue #1 begins with a scarred and deformed man who escapes from a secret laboratory in World War II Germany. He has been brought back from the dead and is being chased by a company of Nazi Super Soldiers who are intent on steering him toward some terrible purpose. He has no memory and no name and is yearning to make a connection to the world that endlessly torments him.
Throughout the book, the nameless monster struggles to discover the truth of how he was brought back to life and to find a way to survive in this dark and twisted environment. The story is a thrilling mix of classic horror elements, taking inspiration from Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein,” Bram Stoker’s “Dracula,” the Hammer Horror film series, and the horror comics of the 50s and 60s.
R.L. Black’s skillful writing and illustrations create a gorgeous environment that is sure to transport readers into the story. The distressed inks, retro-styled dot coloring, and deteriorated paper textures give the reader the feel of a vintage comics experience, while still maintaining a modern twist.
One of the most unique aspects of ETHOS: Heroes Lost Issue #1 is its underlying theme of addiction and recovery. The author, R.L. Black, has based the concept on his own experiences with alcoholism and drug addiction. This adds a layer of depth to the story that is not often found in horror comics, making it a powerful and moving read.
The main character, the “Nameless Monster,” finds his way through the second world war and finally joins a movement far more significant than he could have imagined. This first issue is just the beginning of what promises to be an exciting and immersive series.
ETHOS: Heroes Lost Issue #1 has already garnered high praise from readers and critics alike. It successfully raised $2589 through 76 backers during its Kickstarter campaign, and the release on Amazon Kindle is sure to broaden its reach even further.
For those who prefer a physical copy, ETHOS: Heroes Lost Issue #1 is also available in print editions on R.L. Black’s website and the Vantage Comics website.
