Illuminator

    (Marvel, 1993)
™ and ©1992 Marvel Entertainment Group

This joint project between Christian publisher, Nelson, and Marvel Comics stars Andy Prentiss, your average underconfident teenager. His parents had sent him away to camp for the summer, where his camp mates had a great deal of fun making sport of the uncoordinated youngster. One night, they even tricked him into going on a “wampus hunt” and Andy stood in wait for hours in the dark, holding a bag and waiting to trap the mythical “wampus.”

Then Andy saw the strange lights in the sky. They grew in brilliance until they seemed to cover him. Suddenly, Andy found he had great powers, including the ability to fly. Although these powers gave Andy confidence, he still didn’t understand what to do with them. The answer came when an evil spirit began terrorizing the town he lived in, draining the life force from its residents. An old church caretaker encouraged Andy to find his spiritual faith and to battle evil as the Illuminator.
