Writer: Kelly Thompson Artist: Mattia de Iulius Image Comics, April 2024 Beachside caves in fiction are dangerous places harbouring strange inhabitants. Homer warned us about this in The Odyssey, when Odysseus and his crew stupidly thought the smorgasbord in the dark cave was altruistically left for them.
