Description
*The Theme of Thieves* is a mature sci-fi mystery blending coming-of-age drama with a supernatural enigma. For over a century, a terrifying phenomenon known as "evanescence" has caused people to inexplicably vanish, leaving only an electrical residue. In modern-day Cleveland, this mystery reaches a boiling point when a time-traveling entity, known as a myth to kids as "Krayzeman" or the "Man in the Red Suit," intervenes during a devastating crisis involving two troubled teens. Pushed to the brink by viral cyber-shaming and the grooming of his white-supremacist father, Jason Gable and his classmate Rebecca suddenly vanish alongside the entity. This impossible event thrusts World Department of Natural Phenomenon agents Caitlyn McBride and Darrell Jackson into a massive investigation. Meanwhile, the missing teens are hurtled through dangerous historical flashpoints, including 1698 Salem, an 1805 Georgia plantation, and 1920 Tulsa. This graphic novel explores how media personalities exploit supernatural crises to peddle propaganda, and how unresolved historical atrocities continue to shape today's divided youth.
