This book collects the four issue mini-series from Dark Horse Comics and is written by Mike Richardson with painted art by Jason Shawn Alexander<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The story is centred on Tommy Morris who is invited to a party at Pamela Sweeny\u2019s house. At the party Pamela and her friends are phoning random numbers and challenging the people who answer with the statement \u201cI know your secret\u201d. One of the people called responds with \u201cHow do you know my secret?\u201d and is told to meet at midnight to find out more. The following day Pamela is called by the mysterious man at school and later disappears after being dropped home by Tommy. While the police suspect Tommy of the disappearance he desperately tries to find out what has happened to Pamela.<\/p>\n

The story is fine enough but has been told many times before. I am sure you could even guess the last panel from the outline of the first half of the book above. However, the best thing about the book is the art from Jason Shawn Alexander. It reminds me at times of the art of Jon J Muth and some of the art at his website reminds me of the Austrian expressionist artist Egon Schiele. Truly excellent and such a shame that the story is not up to the same standard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
