Signed Edition. Dynamic Forces Exclusive Alternate cover signed by Joe Chiodo and Jonathan Peterson with certificate of authenticity and limited to 1,000 copies. In the far future of our tiny planet human population balloons to a critical mass. In an attempt to stop all suffering and save society, a group of scientific geniuses begin mind expansion experiments. One of their own—Dr. Medula —is the first to benefit from the procedure. Blind in their success, the scientists fail to notice the stirrings of ambition, and before a single other human can be evolved, Dr. Medula sabotages the subsequent experiments, turning his colleagues into a quivering collective of bodiless brains. Now seemingly unhindered, the doctor carries out his plan to reshape the world by genetically molding the human race into subservient thralls. Who could possibly stop him? Would you believe: a prehistoric caveman, a voluptuous flower child, and a vicious velociraptor? 48 pages, full color. Cover price $5.95.
