The War of the Apocalyptics
In "The War of the Apocalyptics," the first book in the Launch 1980 story cycle, a number of acknowledged devils breaks out of the Sedon Sphere, the dimensional barrier between the Inner and the Outer Earth. In response, the Supranormals re-emerge whole, bodies with minds, from nearly a quarter century in Limbo.
The Damnation Brigade
A rip-roaring outburst of creativity featuring Jim McPherson’s taut storytelling and spectacular artwork gleaned from the pages of Phantacea 1-5 (1977-1980), Phantacea Phase One #1 (1987) and #2 (unpublished), it presents the stirring saga of extraterrestrial Shining Ones and the doomed but unyielding Damnation Brigade. Anheroic Fantasy Illustrated, with a wraparound cover by Phantacea’s master colourist Ian Bateson and 120 pages of interior artwork in glorious black and white by a wide variety of exceptional artists often at the very beginning of their careers, the two-part Phantacea Revisited series reveals how Jim McPherson’s ongoing Phantacea Mythos really got underway.
Helios on the Moon
Scientists first detect signals coming from somewhere out in space in early 1978. Their excitement is palpable. Finally they have proof humanity isn't alone in the cosmos. Then, about a month after their initial detection, the source is pinpointed. Elation immediately gives way to near-panic. The beams are coming from the Earth's moon! In an extraordinary session of the Security Council, the United Nations agree to meet this off-worldly intrusion aggressively. The result, the UNES Liberty, is already in moon orbit when, on the Thirtieth of November 1980, the launching of the Cosmic Express takes place on Centauri Island. At the same time, on the far off planetary Utopia of New Weir, three Great Goddess preside over the latest session of the Courtroom of the Visionary. Meanwhile, on the Inner Earth of Sedon's Head, the Hidden Continent's most revered Death Gods rededicate themselves to reuniting their fragmented family, devils almost to a one. The Dual Entities have returned to their own timeline determined to make life for everyone not just vastly better but perfect. Oh, oh.

Seeing the Centre
Albert Namatjira was a member of the Aranda people of Central Australia (now referred to as the Western Aranda or Arrernte language group). Following the success of his first solo exhibition in Melbourne in 1938, Namatjira became increasingly famous, with popular reproductions of his works being hung in countless Australian homes. The first prominent Indigenous artist to achieve household recognition in a modern idiom, Namatjira subsequently became a tragic figure set against the background of assimilation debates and entangled aesthetic prejudices of the time. His art became virtually ignored by the mainstream of the Australian art world. This book, especially commissioned by the Gordon Darling Foundation and the National Gallery for the centenary of Namatjira's birth, redresses this neglect.
Bitter Seeds
The launch of a dark epic of magic and world war in a very different twentieth century
Nuclear Dragons
In 2009 Phantacea Publications released “The War of the Apocalyptics”, the opening entry in the ‘Launch 1980’ story cycle. At its centre stood the same stirring saga of extraterrestrial Shining Ones and the doomed but unyielding Damnation Brigade as that related in “Phantacea Revisited 1: The Damnation Brigade”. That 2013 graphic novel gleaned material from the pages of Phantacea 1-5 (1977-1980) as well as Phantacea Phase One (mid-1980s). Its novelization’s until then untold Outer Earth sequences introduced or re-introduced a number of fascinating protagonists; ones who appeared or would have appeared in the comic book series had it continued. With a breathtaking cover by Ian Bateson, “Nuclear Dragons” turns the spotlight back on many of them. Given what’s coming, though, if they’re on Centauri Island days after the launching of the Cosmic Express, will any of them last long enough to return for a third entry in the ‘Launch 1980’ story cycle? No matter. Jim McPherson’s Phantacea Mythos is as full of incredible individuals as it is of astonishing challenges for them, and/or others, to survive.
