ABOUT THE CHARACTERS:

 

Jacob Nakai is a Native American, raised by his shaman grandfather, who rises to prominence as a master stage magician.  What sets him apart from the David Copperfields of the world is the fact that he utilizes genuine magics in his performances. 

Eventually, Nakai crosses paths with Adonis DuLac, the head of the Las Vegas Mafia, who is attempting to strong arm him into a management deal. After refusing the mob's final offer, DuLac’s hoods sabotage one of Nakai’s stage props, which results in his being horribly disfigured.

 Nakai is befriended by a mysterious, native American entity known only as Mwerta, who becomes his man-servant and confidante. 

Falling back to the ancient heritage of his people and garbed in black leather with a golden mask that hides his shattered face, Deathmask begins a terrible vengeance trail against the powerful men responsible for his pain. It is a daunting task--a lone, mystic warrior against the most powerful and wealthy crime boss in the country.

Deathmask is not, by any means, a hero.  Rather, he's the wrong man to be pushed beyond the edge of sanity.

 

ABOUT THE STORY:

 

Last time we left our anti-hero:

The mystic marauder's mask came to the attention of an obsessed collector, Severn Ashe, a man who will go to any extreme to possess it. Also, the secret origin of Jacob Nakai’s first encounter with the Deathmask was revealed.

 

This issue:

Is it magic, or merely a science so different we can’t comprehend it?  Whatever the Deathmask represents, mystically-powered relic hunter  is determined to make it his own--even if that means prying it from Jacob Nakai’s cold, dead body
