Stories

  • Island · 22 pages

    Planetary travels to Japan to investigate the unofficial history of Island Zero, a breeding ground for giant radioactive monsters.

Publisher’s description

A cult-favorite Japanese author and a ragtag band of his manic fans and sycophants take off for a tiny, secluded island in the disputed territory between Japan and Russia. What secrets lurk on this island that have kept both nations from laying claim to it since World War II? It's up to Planetary to get the author and his cohorts off the island before the rumors of great atomic lizards and super-intelligent insects are proven true.
