Sphinx

    (Kitchen Sink, 1972-1973)

An ancient god-like being, Thon, is reborn into 16th-century London in the body of Francis Bacon, to continue his never-ending struggle against the forces of Chaos. Played out against the backdrop of the political struggles between England, France, and Spain, the “true” events of History are revealed with Thon, as Bacon, actually being responsible for everything from the defeat of the Spanish Armada to being the real creator of the works of Shakespeare.

Issue #1 was never published, although according to Comixjoint.com, its intended cover was published as the back cover of City Limits Gazette #6 in 1983.
