The 'Launch 1980' story cycle comprises three complete, multi-character mosaic novels, "The War of the Apocalyptics", "Nuclear Dragons" and "Helios on the Moon", as well as parts of two others, "Janna Fangfingers" and "Goddess Gambit". Together they represent creator/writer Jim McPherson's long running, but now concluded, project to novelize the Phantacea comic book series.

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!

“What the hell was that?” someone said.

“Looks like some sort of ship. Think it’s a spacecraft?”

“Pretty small for a spacecraft, Airhead. Not that I’ve seen a spacecraft before.”

“Looks more like a mini-sub.”

“Submarines do not generally fall out of the sky, Diver.”

“Thanks, old man. I was aware of that.”

-- from 'Damnation Isle', the first chapter of "The War of the Apocalyptics"

Introductory Remarks

Greetings. Welcome or welcome back.


"Feeling Theocidal" and "The War of the Apocalyptics" are both available for ordering either by credit card or certified cheque and/or money orders.

To order any of the other PHANTACEA Mythos print publications that are still available, including returned copies of PHANTACEA #1, click here or here.

(If you're ordering from me, I decided not to incur the cost of trying to set up an online payment system since they seem to benefit the intermediary more so than the publisher. That means certified cheques or money orders only please. )

Next door is the usual Hestia Housekeeping subsection of 'pHpubs'.

Down below is a vastly expanded list of lynx to a number of typically idiosyncratic mini-essays and/or Character Likeness studies I've prepared over the years. It's only sort of alphabetical but, in the absence of a PHANTACEA-specific search engine it'll have to do for now.

Most of the selections illustrate some of the peculiar perspectives I've developed while writing the PHANTACEA Mythos. The rest are direct quotes from "The War of the Apocalyptics", "Feeling Theocidal" or its immediate sequel "The 1000 Days of Disbelief", which I hope will come out in 2010.

Contact me at jmcp@phantacea.com Feel free to ask any questions you might have regarding PHANTACEA. I'll do my best to answer them either directly or right here in 'pHpubs'.

Hestia Housekeeping amounts to the 'What's New' section of pHpubs. Consequently I always start it with a 'What's Old' link to where I put its previous update.

Now that that's done, we can get on with this edition's preview.

No, the masthead doesn't lie. I've gone and done it again, haven't I. Published another novel, that is to say.

And what a novel it is, even if I do say so myself. True, "The War of the Apocalyptics" has been around for decades now. A somewhat longer version of it was even serialized right here in pH-Webworld.

Sedon's Eye-Mouth meshed with Eye of GodAs its foreword (reproduced below) notes, it's one part of the phantacea comic book series gone not only prose but now gone printed too.

(NOTE: The meshed eye-mouth to the right enlarges in a new window when it's double-clicked.)

Long past its time too, I should add. After all, with a storehouse of to my mind fantastic characters and situations, one can't keep going with the PHANTACEA Mythos without War-Pox, as I'll henceforth refer to the novel.

As for what else is new in pH-Webworld's Winter 2009/10 update, well, how about something that isn't at all new but is not just in terms of pH-Webworld? By that I'm referring to five pages Ian Bateson prepared for phantacea Phase One #2.

The cover's probably been out here in Cyberia since pH-Webworld's inception and the Ian Fry contributions to the issue formed part of the graphic novel, 'Forever & 40 Days - The Genesis of PHANTACEA', which can still be ordered.

Photocopies of the rest of the issue, though, they've been languishing in a filing cabinet along with scripts for the rest of that ill-starred project.

Until now, that is. (And next time, when I put up the final five pages.)

Will further say that the 'Travels in my Pants' (TIMP) web pages are not, as has been alleged, a porn site.

Will also say that its main menu page is still here and that its latest entry might be entitled 'Bi-Tropical Disorder'. Then again it might also be entitled 'Domingo Demencia'. Either way, its another riff on my 2009 trip to Costa Rica & Panama.

Much, much more in the way of new material -- new material specifically prepared for the PHANTACEA Mythos, I should emphasize -- can be found on www.phantacea.com

It's main menu is here. The latest photo essays are here and here whereas the webpage entirely dedicated to 'Feel Theo', the first PHANTACEA Mythos print publication since 1990's graphic novel, is here and the one for 'War-Pox' is here.

As if all the above wasn't already enough, there's some new material in Serendipity Now. It's nowhere near as extensive as the last time I did an update, when I actually had to invent some previously non-existent entry points, but it is in the spirit of the page(s) in that it's real life stuff, not anything I made up.

A link to the one that contains graphics is here. But there are plenty more. Try out souls sunk, for starters. It contains a quote from War-Pox's Afterword.

I'm not feeling particularly theocidal today. I am, however, feeling somewhat at a loss for a topic. Sed's Eye from War-Pox's back coverConsequently, I thought I'd just reprint the foreword to The War of the Apocalyptics, the latest phantacea Mythos print publication.

(NOTE: Double-click on the graphic to the right and the Moloch Sedon's Mighty Eye-Mouth in the Sky, as it appears on War-Pox's back cover, shall leap into view.)

While it isn't a typical photo essay as such, it does give me an opportunity to publish five never-before-seen-online pages from the second issue (of a planned 15 issues) of the ill-fated phantacea Phase One project. (Unless I come up with a better idea I'll publish the final five next time.)

Hopefully these pages, and Ian Bateson's black and white cover for the comic, will spur you into some serious ordering and recommending to friends.


The War of the Apocalyptics – Author’s Foreword

Prior to plopping potential readers of epic-length fantasies ‘in media res’, in the middle of things, it’s customary to provide a brief advisory of ‘what’s gone on before’. Customarily being somewhat of a sensible sort, not to mention also being somewhat of a contrarian, I’ve often felt that if anyone really wanted to learn that they’d buy what went before and read it.

Cover for Phase One 2, artwork by Ian Bateson, 1985/6I’m making an exception in this case because The War of the Apocalyptics (henceforth ‘War-Pox’) is not, per se, a prequel or a sequel to Feeling Theocidal (henceforth ‘Feel Theo’), the previous PHANTACEA Mythos print publication. Nor is it Book Two of “The Thrice-Cursed Godly Glories”, though they all make brief, yet seemingly significant appearances herein.

Sooth said, which I always strive to do, War-Pox is only set in the same world(s) as Feel Theo, albeit well over 1500 years later.  Sooth said some more, the first and third parts of the novel-in-hand derive directly from a different incarnation of PHANTACEA: namely, the original series of six comic books that I wrote and published between 1977 and 1980.

Much the same could be said about War-Pox’s second part. Except it derived from scripts prepared for an offshoot series of comic books I promised but never delivered, ones that were once tentatively entitled “The Justice Chronicles”. Although its titular character, Baron Justice, appeared in PHANTACEA One, I never got around to publishing the second series due less to a lack of fans, or interested artists, as far too less in the way of disposable income on my part all those years ago.Members of the Damnation Brigade start to escape Shadowland, artwork by Ian Bateson, 1985/6

In other words, there’s not much point recommending anyone buy the comic books because they’re long out of print.  Although I do still occasionally sell remainder and return copies of the first four issues via www.phantacea.com (them along with never-ordered and hence pretty much pristine copies of 'Forever & 40 Days - The Genesis of PHANTACEA' {which can still be ordered}, the graphic novel that followed most of a decade later), there’s not much point in even looking for the complete series online.

That’s because copies of pH-5 and pH-6 seem to have vapourized. And, believe me, I know. I’ve searched Cyberia for them. So, all that being said, what has gone on before? Tell you what, how about we pretend that War-Pox, as the first book in the Launch 1980 cycle, starts everything anew?

That’s precisely what we’ll do then, with the proviso that part two of the novel, which reintroduces Signal System and is set mostly in Vancouver, Canada, will continue in Centauri Island, the second book of the Launch 1980 cycle.
