MARSHAL #1 (of 4) Publisher: Dabel Brothers Production Writers: Bill Tortolini, Andrew LoVuolo Interior Artist: Abdul Rashid Cover Artist: Abdul Rashid Earth's first off world colony, Tranquility, once thought to be the greatest human achievement, is in ruin. All contact with Earth has been lost; the supply ships stopped years ago. Civilization has degraded to something similar to the Old West. Where there was once government, there are now gangs and corruption. Only the corporation known as the Merkaid has seemed to last throughout the years, and they are trying to seize control of the population for good. Fear and hunger fill the air, with only one glimmer of hope on the horizon - rumors that there is another man calling himself Marshal, and he is beginning to fight back. Set in the not so distant future, the story follows the actions of Curtis “Marshal” Masters, a young man bent on discovering the secrets of the corporation that he believes murdered his father. Through his travels we learn that over the 12 years since his father’s murder, Curtis has been building an expansive complex located in New Houston, the planet’s only city left untouched by the Merkaid. And within this complex, he has followed his father’s plans and built a regime hell bent on overthrowing the Merkaid and finding out the real reasons behind his father’s murder.
