Plot In 1880, Walter Whittier's family contacted Captain Henry Whittier to help them rescue Walter's tormented spirit from a stuffed polar bear. Walter died from the fear of a dragon that haunted his nightmares. Manford Jamison, the deceased brother of Walter Whittier's wife, created a diving-style suit that allowed him to travel to limbo, a place between life and death. He used an electrified bar called the Jamison Rod to help spirits react and complete their journey to the afterlife. No one had ever tried this equipment, so Henry offered. This suit used cutting-edge technology from that century, combining electricity, vacuum tubes, and steam to send a person exploring this spiritual ocean. Inside the suit, Henry was able to find hi mself in the same room but on another plane. But in this place, Henry encounters the dragon/serpent that Walter feared so much. He confronts it, and a malfunction in his equipment causes him to be transported physically, and he arrives in limbo, represented as a junkyard of the afterlife. Here, he is cornered by a metal being with a clockwork head. A magnificent story that blends Victorian horror with steampunk and suspense. Art It's an art full of textures and many slightly incomplete lines that give it a brilliantly gloomy feel, supported by a cold, sepulchral color palette. Summary Captain Henry volunteers to take a trip to the afterlife to help a soul in distress, but this spiritual diving equipment malfunctions, and Henry now fights for his life in a place that defies all natural laws. more
