Phantacea Phase Two physically began with 2016's "Decimation Damnation", the first mini-novel extracted from the as yet open-ended saga of 'Wilderwitch's Babies'. It was set between the 9th of Tantalar and the 1st of Yamana, 5980 Year of the Dome. However, its follow-up, "Hidden Headgames" was set between the 30th of Maruta and the 14th of Tantalar in that same year. "Daemonic Desperation" picks up Babes near the end of the second week of Yamana and continues through the Summer Solstice of 5981. As the last known member of the Damnation Brigade, if the Witch was fortunate to survive Dec-Dam, alive and pregnant, she may not be so lucky come the end of Dem-Des. Oddly enough, her unborn babies may yet still be both viable and unborn by then.

Circa the Year of Dome 2000, Anvil the Artificer, a then otherwise unnamed, highborn Lazaremist later called Tvasitar Smithmonger, dedicated the first three devic talismans, or power foci, that he forged out of molten Brainrock to the Trigregos Sisters.

The long lost, possibly even dead, simultaneous mothers of devakind hated their offspring for abandoning them on the far-off planetary Utopia of New Weir. Not surprisingly, their fearsome talismans could be used to kill Master Devas (devils).

For most of twenty-five hundred years, they belonged to the recurring deviant, Chrysaor Attis, time after time proven a devaslayer. On Thrygragon, Mithramas Day 4376 YD, he turned them over to his Great God of a half-father, Thrygragos Varuna Mithras, to use against his two brothers, Unmoving Byron and Little Star Lazareme, in hopes of usurping their adherents and claiming them as his own.

Hundreds of years later, these selfsame thrice-cursed Godly Glories helped turn the devil-worshippers of Sedon's Head against their seemingly immortal, if not necessarily undying gods. Now, five hundred years after the 1000 Days of Disbelief, they've been relocated.

The highest born, surviving devic goddesses want them for themselves; want to thereby become incarnations of the Trigregos Sisters on the Hidden Continent. An Outer Earthling, one who has literally fallen out of the sky after the launching of the Cosmic Express, gets to them first ...

In the Year of the Dome 4825, Morgan Abyss, the Melusine Master of the Utopian Weirdom of Cabalarkon, seizes control of Primeval Lilith, the ageless, seemingly unkillable Demon Queen of the Night. The eldritch earthborn is the real half-mother of the invariably mortal Sed-sons but, once she has hold of her, aka Lethal Lily, Master Morgan proceeds to trap the Moloch Sedon Himself.

In the midst of the bitter, century-long expansion of the Lathakran Empire, the Hidden Headworld's three tribes of devil-gods are forced to unite in an effort to release their All-Father. Unfortunately for them, they're initially unaware Master Morg, the Death's Head Hellion herself, has also got hold of the Trigregos Talismans, devic power foci that can actually kill devils, and Sedon's thought-father Cabalarkon, the Undying Utopian she'll happily slay if they dare attack her Weirdom.

Utopians from Weir have never given up seeking to wipe devils off not just the face of the Inner Earth, but off the planet itself. Their techno and biomages, under the direction of the Weirdom of Cabalarkon's extremely long-lived High Illuminary, Quoits Tethys, have determined there is only one sure way to do that -- namely, to infect the devils' Inner Earth worshippers with fatal plagues brought in from the Outer Earth.

Come All-Death Day there are more Dead Things Walking than Living Beings Talking. Believe it or not, that's the good news.

Kadmon Heliopolis had one life. It ended in October 1968. The Male Entity has had many lives. In his fifth, he and his female counterpart, often known as Miracle Memory, engendered more so than created the Moloch Sedon. They believe him to be the Devil Incarnate. They've been attempting to kill him ever since. Too bad it's invariably he, Heliosophos (Helios called Sophos the Wise), who gets killed instead.

On the then still Whole Earth circa the Year 4000 BCE, one of their descendants, Xuthros Hor, the tenth patriarch of Golden Age Humanity, puts into action a thought-foolproof, albeit mass murderous, plan to succeed where the Dual Entities have always failed. He unleashes the Genesea. The Devil takes a bath.

Fifty-nine hundred and eighty years later, New Century Enterprises launches the Cosmic Express from Centauri Island. It never reaches Outer Space; not all of it anyhow. As a stunning consequence of its apparent destruction, ten extraordinary supranormals are reunited, bodies, souls and minds, after a quarter century in what they've come to consider Limbo. They name themselves the Damnation Brigade. And so it appears they are -- if perhaps not so much damned as doomed.

At least one person survives the launching of the Cosmic Express. He literally falls out of the sky -- on the Hidden Continent of Sedon's Head. An old lady saves him. Except this old lady lives in a golden pagoda, rides vultures and has a third eye. She also doesn't stay old long. He becomes her willing soldier, acquires the three Sacred Objects and goes on a rampage, against his own people, those that live.

Meanwhile, Centauri Island, the launch site of the Cosmic Express, comes under attack from Hell's Horsemen. Only it's not horses they ride. It's Atomic Firedrakes!

Daemonic Desperation

Phantacea Publications Presents -- 'Wilderwitch's Babies 2'

Colour and bw versions of wraparound covers for Deaemonic Desperation, prepared by Jim McPherson, 2018

Aware that only she, as Mother Earth's eldest, fully sentient, to date immortal daughter, can become pregnant with the planet's latest Sed-son, Demon Queen Lilith wholly usurps the identity of Cynthia Masterwife and foolishly seeks to carry him until birth.

Because she's never gone all the way to that day solely by herself, she's either forgotten or never knew that demon children feed on their mothers from inside the womb. Their births almost invariably mark their last gulp of mom.

(Secular Note 1: According to some faiths, fallen angels became devils. They had to have fallen from somewhere, which in Phantacea Mythos books makes them extraterrestrials. Are the heavens not outer space? Of course they are.)

(Pun Alert: As for why Hor looks Japanese on the cover of pH-4Ever, when Jim McPherson first heard about Japan's famous Noh theatre as a kid, he decided it had to be named after Noah. The notion never left whatever else is left of his peabrain.)

(Secular Note 2: Undeniable because, as per here and here, that is precisely what the word 'devil' means — and don't let anyone tell you any differently.)

Foremost among the tales told is that of Thrygragon. For not just devazurkind in particular, Mithramas 4376 Year of the Dome (Christmas Day 376 AD) may yet prove perhaps the singly most important event in Whole Earth history since Xuthros Hor, the Biblical Noah, caused the Genesea.

Both Ginny the Gynosphinx and Andy the Androsphinx make their Phantacea print debuts. One or the other, while romping with whichever, pauses briefly to reintroduce, howsoever smellily, Demon King Daemonicus, to the pre-Genesea world.

To say the least, he and Demon Queen Lily, who also makes her print debut herein, prove extremely hard to get rid of hereafter.

Feel Theo also contains an afterword by the author. Albeit with the bonus of three or four contextually nifty photographs taken in Mexico City, it is reprinted, in colour, here.

A faun mask reminiscent of Dervish Furie, shot in Antigua Guatemala in 2001 by Jim McPhersonA John Sundown type, painting photographed in Merida, Mexico"The War of the Apocalyptics" brings the saga of these little gods, as well as what's left of their much bigger progenitors, into the final fifth of the Twentieth Century our time (the Sixtieth Century of the Dome).

Back cover bluster promises what War-Pox delivers:

"From the creator of the PHANTACEA Mythos and the writer of ‘Feeling Theocidal’ comes Fallen Angel Devils, comes unrelenting Action, comes the Damnation Brigade, comes the first book of the Launch 1980 cycle."

Set on both the Outer and Inner Earth in 19/5980, War-Pox additionally contains a foreword and an afterword by the author. Moreover, as a bonus it ends with the third (originally the first) chapter of 1000-Daze, the immediate sequel to Feeling Theocidal and the second book in ‘The Thrice-Cursed Godly Glories’ trilogy.

War-Pox's Author's Afterword, reprinted here, with colour shots, is not to be missed. In it, Jim McPherson relates a number of Phantacea-specific Serendipitous Sightings he's experienced over the years, including what he spotted in the amazing picture the Egyptian air force took in the late 20s or early 30s of the Giza Plateau. That can't just be a parking lot can it.

| Top of Page Search Engine | Back to beginning of Page Proper | Page Contents | Top of Section | Upwards | Downwards | Bottom of Page Ordering Lynx|

"The 1000 Days of Disbelief" comprises three distinct, complete-unto-itself mini-novels. Each tells of potentially cataclysmic challenges facing Thrygragos Everyman and his firstborn Unities.

No doubt to the Devil's dismay, what begins, perhaps, as a Sedonplay begets a Sedon Plague that necessitates a Sedon Purge.

The highly idiosyncratic manner that the wildly wilful Lazaremists deal with each new threat to their persistent dream of Panharmonium has ramifications for just about everyone alive — and, yes, even dead — right up to the night before the launching of the Cosmic Express from the Outer Earth's Centauri Island on November 30, 1980.

The Death's Head Hellion

Cover for The Death's Head Hellion, art prepared by Jim McPherson, 2010Tura's Allegory of Spring reminds me of Morgan Abyss, the Master of Weir circa 4825 YDIn 4825 Year of the Dome, forces loyal to the Death Gods of Frozen Lathakra threaten to overwhelm the Utopian Weirdom of Cabalarkon. Its demoniacally-empowered Master counterattacks mercilessly.

In the nearly 5,000 years since the Moloch Sedon preserved it from the Great Flood of Genesis, the Hidden Continent has never experienced such approaching apocalyptic devastation.

Set in the Year of the Dome 4824/5, Hellion presents a terrifying dilemma that Thrygragos Everyman and his firstborn Unities, freewheeling anarchists the loathsome load of them, must resolve lest the post-Thrygragon Era of Empires results in a second Genesea.

As for Master Morgan Abyss, it isn't a matter of better the Devil you know. It's a matter of, when dealing with the Devil above, singular and capitalized, never forget the devils below, small case and plural.

It's a lesson she learns all too rapidly. Ah, but is it a lesson she also learns all too fatally?

Contagion Collectors

Despite often violent suppression by forces blinkered by monotheistic absolutism, at the height of the Renaissance seekers after secrets are determined to discover all there is to know about the universe.

Datong Harmonia, collage by Jim McPherson ,2009Cover for Contagion Collectors, artwork prepared by Jim McPherson, 2010Yet, right here on the earth beneath their feet, there is no bigger secret than that there is a Cathonic Dome. The second biggest secret beyond the Cathonic Dome is that a continent the size of Africa lies underneath it.

Two hundred years earlier, someone who knew all there was to know about the Hidden Headworld was none other than the infamous, panpipes-playing Rat Catcher of Hamelin. He's still around, or one like him is. Call him Tomcat Tattletail if you like. It doesn't matter to him. He'll smile regardless.

Three Outer Earthlings you may have heard of play howsoever-insignificant roles in Contagion. They are Twisted Tommy (Tomas de Torquemada, age 56), Bosco (Hieronymous Bosch, age 26), and Dire (Albrecht Durer, age 4).

Dire and Drang (a hound, not yet a dachshund) are having a wonderful boy/dog adventure until four already much feared riders on psychopomp-steeds burst into their hence no longer exclusive paradise, the Garden of Earthy Delights.

As for the god by then sitting high above them all, in a Brainrock throne planted atop a mushroom cloud, he's the deviant half-son of two of the terrifying riders, the one with the buzzsaw-scales and the one with the bow and already notched arrow, who just happens to be the three other riders' Great God of a father.

Janna Fangfingers

Contagion Collectors aimed to destroy the Inner Earth’s Shining Ones, their devil-gods, by killing off those who would worship them – virtually everyone alive beneath the Cathonic Dome that encloses the Hidden Continent of Sedon’s Head.

Deviant and Devils collage prepared by Jim McPherson, 2011Full cover for Janna Fanfingers, text and collage by Jim McPherson, 2011Thrygragos Everyman and his firstborn Unities (Harmony, Chaos and Order) thought them sorted after they stormed the Hoodoo Hamlet in 5476 as the four fearsome Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

And so they had … except, it wasn't just the bringers who needed sorting. It was the poxes and plagues they brought.

The Hidden Headworld needed purging. There could be no doubt of that. Yet the Moloch Sedon had disappeared from the night’s sky years earlier and evinced no signs of returning. Everyone knew what needed to be done yet no one, especially not Thrygragos Everyman, the Lord Laziest of Great Gods, was willing to command the purge begun.

Then someone, ostensibly in the name of love, played a Trigregos Gambit. The Head lost its Balance, capitalized and female. Her immediate brothers regarded each other balefully. No longer restrained, a continental catastrophe of unprecedented proportions ensued.

With calamitous rapidity, nearly 500 years of Panharmonium gave way to seemingly endless despair. The Inner Earth’s populace lost faith in its devil-gods as by far the mightiest of them went at each other unrelentingly, unmindful of those they trampled beneath their rendered-gargantuan feet.

The Dead didn't stay dead, though. They rose, disbelievers no longer. They battled on, their newly puissant goddess to exalt the higher. Came All-Death Day there were more Dead Things marching than Living Beings breathing, let alone fighting back.

Fecundity no longer, the Vampire Queen of the Dead looked to rule the world – both sides of it!

E-versions of "Feeling Theocidal" and the three mini-novels comprising 1000-Daze were released on the Kindle platform in late 2011. E-versions of "The War of the Apocalyptics" and "Goddess Gambit" came out a year later. Digital Dragons, the Kindle version of "Nuclear Dragons", finally arrived in 2014.
There are lists of lynx to extracts from the novels, mini-novels and graphic novels starting here. An illustrated, book-specific character companion for the first mini-novel, "The Death's Head Hellion", begins here.

As detailed at a breathtaking pace in "Goddess Gambit", the Launching of the Cosmic Express has ultimately horrific ramifications on both sides of the Cathonic Zone.Haunted Dustmound, based on artwork by Verne Andru 2012

Collage made of images representative of The Trigregos Titan, prepared by Jim McPherson, 2012Better known as the Sedon Sphere on the Inner Earth of Sedon's Head, none is more immediately disastrous than in Hadd, the Land of the Ambulatory Dead.

Forces of the Living are attempting to re-conquer it. But if Nergal Vetala, the Blood Queen of the Dead, has her way the only thing they'll successfully do is swell her ranks.

Should her champion, by now the Trigregos Titan, triumph over her other foes – including some of her godlike elders in Thrygragos Varuna Mithras as well as her seemingly forever-superior cousins in Thrygragos Everyman and Bodiless Byron – it's not just the Inner Earth she and her thus bloodily bolstered forces will soon overwhelm.

Faced with the viperous menace of Nergal Vetala and her slavish but potentially supremely powerful, devil-slaying soldier, even the usually never-remembered Smiling Fiend has no choice except to do his best imitation of a good guy — to no avail.

The pHantacea-pHact of the matter is the launching of the Cosmic Express took place on Centauri Island at the end of November 1980. It was destroyed ... Or was it?

Final front cover for Nuclear DragonsCollage prepared by Jim McPherson, 2013, using the front cover and some shots from the Phantacea comic booksNo matter. Its destroyers thought it was.  And they’re not done yet.

Who or what can stop them? The Menace on the Moon? Silver-armoured Signal System? Supra-Clones? Loxus Abraham Ryne, the eighty year old head of SPACE  ('The Society for the Prevention of Alien Control of Earth')? A couple of middle-aged, newly-minted supranormals named Doc Defiance and Mr No Name?

A twenty-seven year old who neither knows who his parents were nor what an Amoeba Man was? An obesity who knows far more than he should but is disinclined to share that knowledge with anyone, not even his own son? Or maybe, just maybe, a notorious little trickster who has been seven years old for something like sixty years!

Truth told: How can anyone stop Nuclear Dragons!

"Hear me, fascists, Helios is on the Moon destroying you!"

Scientists first detect signals coming from somewhere out in space in early 1978. Their excitement's palpable. Finally they've 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.

In an extraordinary session of the Security Council, the United Nations agrees 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 Utopia of New Weir, three Great Goddesses preside over the latest session of the Courtroom of the Visionary. Meanwhile, on the Hidden Continent of Sedon's Head, the Death Gods of Frozen Lathakra 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.

Phantacea Phase Two starts here

Two promo collages for Wilderwitch's Babies, prepared by Jim McPherson, 2016

"Wilderwitch's Babies" continues the tragic tale of the doomed but ever-defiant Damnation Brigade as its surviving members regroup in the Weirdom of Cabalarkon after the travails of Helios on the Moon. About the best that can definitely be said about them is that eight out of the original ten – nine if you count Ringleader as an honourary member – are still alive ... at the outset

Who's wiping out the Damnation Brigade

Rollover featuring an adjusted cover for the Damnation Brigade graphic novel and Tariqartha with a mandroidRollover features images of Wilderwitch and Ian Bateson's Cerebrus from pH-3 As told in "Goddess Gambit", before transporting himself, the Diver, Kronokronos Akbarartha, Wildman Dervish Furie, Blind Sundown and Raven's Head to Hadd, the Land of the Dead, Ringleader (Harry Zeross) left three members of the Damnation Brigade behind in the Weirdom of Cabalarkon to be tended by its Master, Saladin Nauroz (called Devason, albeit never to his face), and his comparatively few, altogether functional fellow Utopians.

One of these was Wilderwitch. Ringleader probably would have been appalled at how the Master looked after her. Assuming he survived the final battle for Dustmound, which in fact he didn't even see. Assuming, then, that he survived "Helios on the Moon".

The other two left behind were Radiant Rider (Gloriella D'Angelo Dark) and D-Brig's leader, Cyborg Cerebrus (David Ryne). Couldn't do much worse than the latter, who'd lost most of his headplate, what made him a cyborg in the first place. The good news about that was it turned out to be Utopian technology. The really bad news is that it's so damaged he has to be submerged in a tub of not so much life- as animation-suspending Cathonic Fluid.

Similarly submerged, in the crypt next door to his, is none other than Cabalarkon (Cabby the Daddy), the Undying Utopian who may well be the oldest, still (sort of) living mortal in the cosmos. That he's still around, and occasionally capable of Wayfaring in the Wild Weird, is entirely due to the the fact that the Moloch Sedon regards him as his father. And guess who visits the Weirdom every Mithramas?

Which in the Weirdom is now known as Zmas Day, after Harry himself.

The opening mini-novel in 'Wilderwitch's Babies', the latest epic fantasy featuring Jim McPherson's Phantacea Mythos, is entitled "Decimation Damnation".

There's a reason for that.

Previously, on the Hidden Continent of Sedon's Head

"The Forgettable Fiend" - "Pyrame's Progress" - "Acquiring Nihila"

Smiler and Klizarod Rex, two characters who appear in Hidden Headgames, images  taken from WebThe Forgettable Fiend, features the demon-devil variously known as Smiler or the Judge, among many another name or appellation. Somewhat uniquely among his not altogether evil ilk, he can never be remembered unless he wants to be remembered, hence the title. It tells of his efforts to thwart the machinations of Thrygragos Byron to render the Hidden Headworld of Sedon’s Head that Great God's own domain.

Once this Byron, often called the Unmoving One, who's all head and no body, hence also Bodiless Byron, has made the Head’s landmass his to rule, he plans to lead his third generational offspring and their fellow Master Devas, called devils in the Phantacea Mythos, back to the stars. (Devils are extraterrestrials, skyborn, whereas daemons or demons are planetary, the eldritch earthborn.)

Turns out Great Byron is the main mover behind the launching of the Cosmic Express from the Outer Earth. Once a suitable new world is thereby discovered, he intends to facilitate a mass escape from their effective prison for 6,000 years: namely the Whole Earth. What with so much else going on, that first week of Tantalar 5980, it’s difficult to tell if either Smiler or Bodiless Byron comes out ahead of the game at first.

Two black and white images illustrating a variety of characters who appear in Pyrame's Progress, collage prepared by Jim McPherson, 2017Pyrame’s Progress, focuses on Pyrame Silverstar’s attempt to reassert her previous position as the Hidden Headworld’s foremost female Perpetual Presence during that selfsame time period. Until she was summarily ill-starred (cathonitized or catasterized) thirty years earlier for killing the Male Entity in his Eleventh Lifetime, Pyrame was the devic half-mother of all the Sed-sons born on the Head over the multiple millennia of its existence.

Since their devic half-father, the Moloch Sedon himself, cathonitized her she wants revenge on him as well; he arguably being the Devil, capitalized. In pursuing her goals she runs afoul of the Witches of Weir, whose Panharmonium Project resulted in the Nuclear Dragons preparing to obliterate the Outer Earth’s Centauri Island, launch site of the Cosmic Express.

Having lost her solidifying demon when she was ill-starred, and having never had a power focus anyhow, things are looking poorly for her (and her human shell) until …

Two collages prepared by Jim McPherson, 2017, illustrating the novella entitled Acquiring NihilaAcquiring Nihila, picks up on stories of the deviant Fisherwoman and the highborn, but increasingly unstable Master Deva now calling herself Freespirit Nihila. Both of these characters were major players in Goddess Gambit and, to a somewhat lesser degree, Helios on the Moon.

It is largely Nihila who saves the Dual Entities from utter ruination on the moon. It’s also she who almost instantly regrets doing so. Re-enter Pyrame Silverstar and the Witches of Weir, this time on the same side.

By the end of the collection, some of those whose stories are recounted herein can rightly claim to be winners of these Hidden Headgames. Variations of big green background,  prepared by Jim McPherson, 2017The biggest one appears to be Pyrame’s long lost (by her) demon. This would be Primeval Lilith, the ages-old, earthborn mother of Anti-Patriarch Cain, slayer of Abel. Then again it’s still only the middle of Tantalar 5980.

Marking forty years of Jim McPherson's Phantacea Mythos in print, "Hidden Headgames" presents three intertwined novellas featuring characters who appeared during The Thrice-Cursed Godly Glories' and 'Launch 1980' epic fantasy trilogies. They are "The Forgettable Fiend", "Pyrame's Progress" and "Acquiring Nihila". It leads up to and into the start of 'Wilderwitch's Babies'.

That as yet open-ended saga began with the 2016 mini-novel entitled Decimation Damnation. It in turn marked the inception of the Phantacea Phase Two storylines. The second mini-novel in the saga is entitled "Daemonic Desperation". It came out in 2019. All of these books are available for ordering from Phantacea Publications

"Daemonic Desperation"
- 2019 Release -

Wraparound cover for Daemonic Desperation

Daem-Desp is the second mini-novel extracted from the open-ended saga of 'Wilderwitch's Babies'. "Decimation Damnation" preceded it in 2016 whereas "Destination Damnation" is scheduled to follow within the next year or so.

That may change of course. What won't change is that Wilderwitch is the only member of the Damnation Brigade left alive in the Weirdom of Cabalarkon at the outset. She doesn't last long. Primeval Lilith, the Demon Queen of the Night, does.

She would, wouldn't she. No one has found a way to altogether get rid of her. Not for thousands of years. Then again she never tried to carry a baby to birth by herself before. It's a shame, in some respects, that daemons don't wait until they're born to feed on their mothers.

Daemonic Desperation - Early versions of Cover

Promo collage entitled Daemonic Desperation

There's a reason Wilderwitch remains alive long enough to get pregnant. There's a reason her soul-self does too; making that two (pregnancies).

Has to do with the hooded thought-widow the still recovering Demios Sarpedon spots on what he subsequently should have started calling Demon Mound.

For technical reasons, the cover originally intended for Dec-Dam got rejected. That resulted in most of the image in the double-click being used on its final cover and not Daem-Desp.

Turns out Miracle Memory believed Wilderwitch died early on in Daem-Desp. She's hardly the only one.

That explains why she hadn't been looking for her. Nonetheless, even when she discovered otherwise, she still wouldn't rescue her. Did leave her a gift, however.

The Witch named it Broom. Sensible vimana that it was, it wouldn't fly for her when she was soullessly infected, hence Capputis's complaint to his father recorded above.

Magnus Minus

Peruvian demon used to represent Magnus Minus, picture taken in Lima, Peru in 1998 by Jim McPherson

Evidently the Mighty Minotaurus of Minius hasn't forgotten Primeval Lilith. He might have spotted her in Tantalar 5980 when Machine-Memory ejected her from not only herself but from Trans Time Trigon.

That was when, as per both here and Pyrame’s Progress, she walked over the simultaneous grave of both the Pauper Priestess and the decades' next to brainless, become daemonic remains of Shahiyeda Sunrise, Solace (Sorciere) and (then neither blind nor much of a supranormal) John Sundown's daughter.

NOTE: With the exception of "The Death's Head Hellion", Magnus Minus appeared mostly in the pH-Webworld online serials of the late 1990s, early 2000s. Picture of a demon-doll or figurine taken in Lima, Peru, 1998

Not even Miracle Memory knows how many babies she's had

Miracle Memory as Machine-Memory

Human-Memory (Mnemosyne born D'Angelo become Heliopolis) had one, Europa Heliopolis, who lived on the Hidden Headworld under a different name (Telepassa of Godbad). After events detailed in "Hidden Headgames", apparently doesn't do that anymore.

Two of Miracle Memory's acknowledged children during the 19/5900s are our titular Witch and nine years older Fisherwoman.

A third, nine years older than Fish, was Cerebrus and Psycho's mother of record, Eden Nightingale, from (mostly) the Heliodyssey web-serials. Like her fellow, so-called Trigon Triplet, the aforementioned Human Memory, she's been dead for years.

The other Trigon Triplet, Miracle Maenad (Cybele St Synne), also predominantly from the pH-Webworld serials, is still around, however. She's the mother of the current Jordan 'Q for Quill' Tethys (George Taurson). Even shows up briefly in Daem-Desp

Wilderwitch's Soulless Infection has a name -- Primeval Lilith

Salmonella bacterium representing Demon Queen Lilith

The Demon Queen of the Night has been around seemingly forever. As noted in the most detail during a tell-all session in "Helios on the Moon", she was Xuthros Hor's first wife, the mother of Anti-patriarch Cain, Slayer of Abel.

Although Pyrame Silverstar denied Lethal Lily was her demon, what made her an independently solid being fully two thousand years before any other Master Deva, throughout almost all of "Hidden Headgames", she finally came to accept that for a fact near its conclusion.

Furthermore, without Lascivious Lily around to solidify her, Pyrame can't become the devic half-mother of the always mortal Sed-sons.

Now she wants her back, if only to force the Moloch Sedon to treat her as an equal. Too bad the Witch got her first. Too bad for all concerned.

What she hasn't forgotten is her seemingly forever lost lover, Demon King Daemonicus, who has been plaguing Phantacea storylines since the 1970s

Back Cover Lily

Transparent GIF prepared for the back cover of "Hidden Headgames".

Jettisoned when Strife sought to take over Miracle Maenad during Helmoon (and as also alluded to in Nuke, which was written at the same time), Primeval Lilith finds herself in Absudyl, the Subterranean Land of the Mandroids, deep beneath the Weirdom of Cabalarkon.

Where, incidentally, she ruled while subsumed by Master Morgan Abyss for most of "The Death's Head Hellion". She was back there by the time of "Decimation Damnation" as Wilderwitch's Miss Murk, Mad for Mud Magpies.

As hit upon during Games, she had a couple of stops – and at least one collision – before she got there.

Freespirit Nihila ... before Fangers

Image of Datong Harmonia, as shot by Jim McPherson in Mexico City's Bellas Artes; test reads Datong Harmonia, the Unity of Panharmonium

Long-serving graphic representing Datong Harmonia, the Unity of Panharmonium, is built over a shot of a painting entitled "La nueva democracia" by David A. Siqueiros. Jim McPherson, the creator/writer of the Phantacea Mythos, took the shot of the painting where it still is, at the Bellas Artes Opera House in Mexico City, in the early 1990s, years after he came up with Freespirit Nihila and her chains.

As per "Contagion Collectors", the Hidden Headworld did experience an Age of Panharmonium from circa 5000 to 5500 YD (1000 to 1500 AD). That ended with events told in "Janna Fangfingers", the third mini-novel extracted from "The Thousand Days of Disbelief".

Actually it was told by Jordan 'Q for Quill' Tethys, aka the Legendarian, in Fangers. He's another one back, howsoever briefly, in "Hidden Headgames". So is Yehudi Cohen (D-Brig's Untouchable Diver) and Tsishah Thrae (Twilight), the late(?) Morrigan's daughter by the faerie-type, Tom-Tiddly Taddletale.

In order to title a novella "Acquiring Nihila", one might expect someone to acquire a Nihila therein.

Lovely Lilith, Lethal Lily

Text for graphic reads 'Lovely Lily, Lethal Lilith; image of demon woman superimposed over shot of garden lily, collage prepared by Jim McPherson, 2017

Can't have demons without daemonic royalty. Lilith, the apocryphal mother of Cain, Slayer of Abel, is the odds-on choice for her name.

Miracle Maenad raged on about her in Helmoon, apparently without realizing she'd had hold of her for something like ninety of Heliosophos's lifetimes (including the time Lilith gave birth to Anti-Patriarch Cain, in his 61st).

For some reason Pyrame Silverstar has been denying she was her demon for most of six thousand years. Whether or not she's in a state of post decathonitization denial throughout "Pyrame's Progress", she's wrong.

Dec-Dam is the first mini-novel extracted from the open-ended saga of 'Wilderwitch's Babies'. "Destination Damnation" and "Tsishah's Twilight" are scheduled to follow within the next year or so.

He is, as per here, only one of the ten original members of the Damnation Brigade. In other words, like the face-dancing Witch and Raven's Head, who do appear on the final cover, he's due -- overdue, according to too many -- for decimation.

Wilderwitch is a face-dancer. That means she can alter her appearance by mentally manipulating her external aura; not that her face dances or that a skeletal revenant replaces her mouth.

She should have been killed in Temporis near the end of "The War of the Apocalyptics". She wasn't. She should have at least lost a leg. She didn't.

And that's about it for the good news.

Two of D-Brig's members have already been decimated, as in deducted from the original roll-call of ten strong. Appearances to the contrary, one of them is not Cyborg Cerebrus, their erstwhile leader and the fellow who so ill-advisedly named them thusly.

Neither are they the Untouchable Diver and Ringleader, an honourary member since rescuing what was left of D-Brig in Sisert and taking them to 'safety' in the Weirdom of Cabalarkon, aka Sedon's Eye-Land.

The already lost two, the Elemental Twins, reputedly have a distant sister, the Mirror Mentalist. She's an immortal azura. Rather, she thinks she is ... immortal, that is.

Wilderwitch already has one child, Fey Woman. She's bodily older than her mother. Seems further that D-Brig weren't the only ones Demon Land brought back from Limbo on the 30th of November 1980 on D-Isle.

As per War-Pox and "Nuclear Dragons", that one is didn't come back whole, however. The Witch is his aunt. She's hardly the only one who reckons him long overdue for decimation.

One of those last isn't her daughter. Even more worryingly Fey can bodily traverse the Weird; can even get through the Cathonic Dome.

Sunset used in background on this page and in all the panels in this row shot at Jericho Beach in Vancouver, Canada, 2015

Des-Dam original front cover lockup

Cover collage prepared by Jim McPherson, 2016

The title and sunset are different from the cover collage presented above.

Probably won't be used, though, as essential image made it to the final cover of Dec-Dam

'Babies' promo using digital cover

Wilderwitch's Babies promo using digital front cover, prepared by Jim McPherson, 2016

A great deal, very little of it good, happens to Wilderwitch in Dec-Dam besides
a) being preservatively demonized and
b) getting doubly pregnant almost immediately after Ringleader left her in the Weirdom of Cabalarkon under the care of its Master, Saladin Devason.

A round-up of most of the images that went into this promo can be found beginning here. The main entry on Saladin born Nauroz, who previously featured most notably in "Goddess Gambit", can be found on pH-Webworld.

Turns out it isn't the Conquering Christ either

Raven Rock promo, prepared by Jim McPherson, 2-16

In contrast to this promotional graphic, John Sundown should also be wearing a blindfold; the Moai isn't so much a between-space stone gnome as a Lemurian guard-body; Dand Tariqartha is a star in the night's sky above Sedon's Head; and, when last we saw him (in "Helios on the Moon"), the real Boulder Brain Conqueror had just lost his head on Lunar Trigon.

Phantacea One

pH1 cover by Dave Sim, 1977

Artwork by Dave Sim, 1977

Original web-presence preserved here

Note: Most of Dave Sim's Launching of the Cosmic Express sequence reappeared in "Phantacea Revisited: The Damnation Brigade" (Rv1:DB). Four pages also appeared in "Phantacea Revisited 2: Cataclysm Catalyst" (Rv2:CC).

The Launch sequence was included as a bonus chapter in the Phantacea Mythos mosaic novel "Goddess Gambit". The complete sequence features in "Nuclear Dragons".

Phantacea Two

pH2 cover by Gordon Parker, 1978

Artwork by Gordon Parker, 1978

Original web-presence preserved here

Note: A couple of pages of Gordon Parker's depiction of the encounter between Rom Kinesis (pre Doc Defiance) and Devil Wind were reprinted in "Phantacea Revisited: The Damnation Brigade" (Rv1:DB). That entire sequence was novelized in "Nuclear Dragons".

Sean Newton's impressive opening installment of the Soldier's Saga reappears in "Phantacea Revisited 2: Cataclysm Catalyst" (Rv2:CC). The Uncle Universe sequence is retold in the Phantacea Mythos mosaic novel "Helios on the Moon".

Phantacea Three Obverse

pH3 front cover, artwork by Richard Sandoval, 1978

Artwork by Richard Sandoval, 1978

Original web-presence preserved here

Note: None of the Helios on the Moon sequences in this issue were reproduced in either "Phantacea Revisited: The Damnation Brigade" (Rv1:DB) or in "Phantacea Revisited 2: Cataclysm Catalyst" (Rv2:CC) due to the pHantacea-pHact it's a different storyline.

It is, however, retold in the Phantacea Mythos mosaic novel "Helios on the Moon". Its cover was also done by (nowadays) Ricardo Sandoval, albeit in 2014

Phantacea Three Verso

Back cover for pH3 by Ian Bateson, 1978

Artwork by Ian Bateson, 1978

Original web-presence preserved here

Note: Reproductions of virtually all of the sequences drawn by Verne Andrusiek, Carl Muecke and Ian Bateson for the flip side of this issue appear in "Phantacea Revisited: The Damnation Brigade" (Rv1:DB).

Exceptions are pages that have been digitally re-lettered by Jim McPherson.

Phantacea Four

pH4 front cover, artwork by Ian Bateson, 1979

Artwork by Ian Bateson, 1979

Original web-presence preserved here

Note: Only reproductions of the Byronic Nucleus sequences drawn by Ian Bateson appear in "Phantacea Revisited: The Damnation Brigade" (Rv1:DB).

Tim Hammell's map of Sedon's Head from pH-3 reappears after the Bateson sequence in the graphic novel. A couple of Verne Andrusiek's pages from this issue also appear in context. Like parts of the map page, Jim McPherson digitally re-lettered aspects of these pages for purposes of clarity.

Phantacea Five

pH5 cover by Ian Bateson over Verne Andrusiek's inks, 1979/80, 19

Inks largely by Verne Andrusiek, 1979/80; Cover coloured, typeset and partially redrawn by Ian Bateson, 1980

Original web-presence preserved here

Note: Reproductions of virtually all the sequences drawn by Ian Bateson, Vince Marchesano, various Day Brothers & unaccredited friends, Tim Hammell and George Freeman (with Verne Andrusiek) appear in "Phantacea Revisited: The Damnation Brigade" (Rv1:DB).

Phantacea Six

pH6 cover by Verne Andrusiek, 1980

Artwork by Verne Andrusiek, 1980

Original web-presence preserved here

Note: Verne Andrusiek drew this entire 32-page issue. It concludes the Soldier's Saga begun in pH-2 by Sean Newton and carried on in issues #4 & #5 by Verne Andrusiek.

Most of the material prepared for the Soldier's Saga reappear in "Phantacea Revisited 2: Cataclysm Catalyst" (Rv2:CC). This time, though, Jim McPherson has painstakingly corrected myriad typos as well as added some judicious updates digitally.

Phantacea Seven (unfinished)

Unfinished cover for pH7, artwork by Ian Bateson ca 1980

Artwork by Ian Bateson, 1980

Original web-presence preserved here

Note: This issue was supposed to conclude both the Launching of Cosmic Express and the Helios on the Moon story cycles. Unfortunately producing it proved a logistical nightmare and it was abandoned.

Only Ian Bateson's Hell's Horsemen sequence was drawn and lettered. Those pages as they were initially submitted can be seen here. The same pages, digitally re-lettered by Jim McPherson in 2014, have finally seen print in "Phantacea Revisited 2: Cataclysm Catalyst" (Rv2:CC).

Phantacea Phase One #1

Phase One cover by Ian Bateson, 1986

Artwork by Ian Bateson, 1987

Original web-presence preserved here

Note: Some the material Ian Bateson redid over Dave Sim's original appears in "Phantacea Revisited 1: The Damnation Brigade" (Rv1:DB).

All of the Devil Wind v/s Demon Land material that Ian Bateson drew for pHz1 #2 also finally sees print in Rv1:DB.

The first graphic novel from Phantacea Publications came out in 1990.

There may be no cure for aphantasia (defined as 'having a blind or absent mind's eye') but there certainly is for aphantacea ('a'='without', like the 'an' in 'anheroic')
