However, they are unsure whether the killer is of human or non-human origin. Dr. Bones takes up the challenge and is joined by a young woman whose wealthy family has decided to help the doctor with his new ambition. The investigation soon leads them to the Canarsee Indians and legends about sprites, known as Wemategunis (Wemas), that once inhabited the forests of Manhattan. By the late nineteenth century, the trees were mostly long gone, replaced by brick and mortar and the hustle-bustle of carriages, trollies and people hurrying to and from their destinations. Who or what is responsible for the serial murders? Can the killing spree be stopped?Bones and Missy work with a NYPD detective to try to solve the mystery and bring a halt to the gruesome events.

"From the letters pages of Silver Age comics to his 2021 induction into the Will Eisner Hall of Fame, the career of Dave Cockrum started at the bottom and then rose to the top of the comic book industry. Beginning with his childhood obsession with comics and continuing through his years in the Navy, The Life and Art of Dave Cockrum follows the rising star from fandom (where he was one of the "Big Three" fanzine artists) to pro-dom, where he helped revive two struggling comic book franchses: the Legion of Super-Heroes and the X-Men. His later work on his own property, The Futurians, as well as childhood favorite Blackhawk and T.H.U.N.D.E.R Agents, cemented his position as as an industry giant. Featuring artwork from fanzines, unused character designs, and other rare material, this is the comprehensive biography of the legendary comic book artist, whose influence is still felt on the industry today!"--Back cover.
