Jack the Lantern

    (Castle Rain, 2003)
™ and © Michael Angelos

What initially appears no more than a typical indie horror comic is actually a dark, complex fantasy that begins with the meeting of a demon called Argotakar (a.k.a. Jack the Lantern) and Jack Gordon Corby, a tortured man whose inner demons drove him away from his family and eventually led him to seek help from psychologist Dr. Frank Casper. Gorby believes that his encounter with the demon was just a dream until he looks into the mirror and realizes that he has actually become Argotakar. Casper helps Jack in mastering his transformation into Jack the Lantern, and soon the two learn that it just may be up to them and this manifestation of evil to save the world from the machinations of those who would use Argotakar to achieve darker ends.
