Phantom Jack

Phantom Jack is the eponymous character of a comic book series created by writer Michael San Giacomo. Its publication started in early 2004 as a monthly series at Image Comics, completing its first five-issues story-arc. After a creative team change and a creative difference with the publisher, the title moved to Speakeasy Comics where its first arc was collected in 2005 as a trade paperback.

Synopsis

Newspaper reporter Jack Baxter can turn invisible. Not exactly a hero, Baxter uses his powers to scoop other reporters. His test of fire comes when his brother is captured in Iraq. Jack rescues his brother with the aid of the beautiful Madison Blue, an invisible secret agent for the group 'Miscellaneous'. Stories lean toward realistic portrayals of characters in modern world, not typical super-hero fare. The series ran in 2005 from Image Comics and returned in November 2007, from Atomic Pop Art Entertainment with Absolute Phantom Jack, which collects all the previous Image comics and about 80 pages of new stories. A sequel, Phantom Jack: The Nowhere Man Agenda, a 110-page collection of five stories, was released in August 2010 by IDW Publishing. In the novel, Jack confronts his evil opposite and faces his final fate.
