David and Goliath #2
an issue of David and Goliath by Image Comics
Ongoing bi-monthly series. "In a time before the atomic age, an ancient monster with more destructive power than anything seen before in the world, is owned and controlled by an innocent little boy." In Ancient Egypt, centuries before the birth of Christ, the Pharaohs once controlled a mythical beast to destroy the armies and cities of their enemies. The beast, a large lion with wings and blood of fire, may be awoken once, every hundred years. It is now 1940 in New York in the middle of World War II and this same monster, after centuries of being forgotten, has been unleashed upon the world. But now, an innocent, little 10 year old boy, named David, controls the mighty monster as if it were his pet. Hot on their trail are secret Nazi agents sent out to harness this great power of the beast, to change the tide of the war. The one who controls the boy, David, controls the beast, named Goliath.
This Issue: Now bonded to Goliath, David is haunted by nightmares that link him to the past owner of the Beast. Concerned, Sarah takes her brother, David, with Goliath to visit their father's mentor, Professor Adams, to uncover the truth and ORIGIN of Goliath. Meanwhile, Detective Sam Davidson tries to muster up the courage to ask Sarah out to dinner. But when they learn of Goliath's dark past they have little time to react, because Lady Nichila and her secret Nazi agents make their move to capture them, only to unleash the powerful wrath of Goliath. With David captured, who now controls the monster named Goliath?
