Nightshade

(No Mercy, 1997)
™ and © 1997 No Mercy Comics, Inc.

Talos Nightshade is both a popular author and daring adventurer. He is also one of the world’s foremost authorities on the occult. Joined on his journeys by his silent manservant, Go, a Tibetan giant skilled in secret martial arts techniques, Talos often works with the Kalem Club, whose members fight a seemingly endless battle against demons, cultists, and other arcane menaces.

The series begins with a frightened man racing for his life; his demonic pursuers close behind. His goal, his one chance for salvation, is the Kalem Club. He doesn’t quite make it, but in a final, desperate act, the man tosses a mysterious package through the Club’s gates. Then, before the horrified eyes of several Club members, the man is murdered, his very soul brutally ravaged. What secret could be worth such a sacrifice?

Talos Nightshade evolved from a series of character profiles in a computer role-playing game.
