It's 1969 and the war in Vietnam rages on. Captain Chase, a Medevac helicopter pilot for the US Army, is shot down over enemy territory. He and his crew are in a fight for their lives as they play a deadly game of cat and mouse with the Vietcong. But, machine guns and grenades aren't the only frightening things hiding in the jungle. Find out what happens in this origin prequel to the Eisner Award-nominated hit, The Cape, with story by Joe Hill and Jason Ciaramella, and art and colors by Nelson Daniel.

If power corrupts, then surely with great power comes even greater corruption. New York Times\-bestselling author Joe Hill's darkest creation returns in an unsettling new tale! Writer Jason Ciaramella uncovers new folds in Hill's cautionary anti-superhero tale with a story that takes place between the scenes of the original series. Eric's already killed his ex-girlfriend and (spoiler alert) soon he'll go after his mom and brother. But first he'll go missing for three torturous days. What other atrocities will Eric commit? What violent secrets does the Cape still hide? There's no telling, but the answers to those questions will further underline The Cape's central theme—that no amount of power will make a bad person good.
