In the raging flame of tragedy, men are sometimes forged into something more than human. So it was with millionaire, adventurer, and hunter Richard Henry Benson! After a terrible loss of family and humanity at the hands of criminals, he became a machine of vengeance... a figure of ice and steel, concealing genius and power behind a face as dead as the grave. The ultimate master of disguise with malleable skin and eyes like pale gray fire, Benson is the deadly scourge of the underworld: The Avenger!<br> <br> As darkness falls across Europe and the Pacific in 1940, The Avenger dedicates his fortune to building Justice, Inc., a crack team of scientists and adventurers dedicated to protecting the homeland from gangsters and terrorists.

What is the terrible secret of these invisible foes, and how does their far-reaching conspiracy threaten to drag America into war?<br> <br> New York Times bestselling author Mark Waid (Kingdom Come, Daredevil, Star Wars: Princess Leia) joins Christopher Sequeira (Astonishing Tales) and Ronilson Freire (The Green Hornet) for the globe-trotting Man of a Thousand Faces' epic battle against The Invisible Death, plus a bonus tale debuting the mysterious saboteur, The Sleeperman!
