From the publisher: 

“The #0 issue was just to whet your appetite–but the REAL storystarts here!!  

The GREEN LAMA lives once more in a darkly contemporary twist on the AC Comics universe. This is a new, more ‘character-driven’ andrefreshingly inventive ‘re-imagining’ of one of the most enduringsuper-heroes of the Golden Age–as writer/artist James Ritcheyrevitalizes Pulp, Comics and Science Fiction great Kendall FosterCrossen’s legendary MAN OF STRENGTH for the 21st Century.  

World War III has come and gone–demons run amok in the streets, half of humanity, lost. Can an unsuspecting college student, Jethro “Jet”Dumont II, who has only now come to realize that he is THE GREEN LAMA REBORN, bring back order, justice, and sanity–and heal the soul of awounded world? Worst of all–can he do it in time to prevent the enslavement and destruction of rhe rest of humanity, by The GREEN LAMA’S oldest and most deadly nemesis?  

Four years in the making, this “Elseworlds” -meets-”Vertigo” style riffon the classic Golden Age hero takes place in a reality apart from theusual AC dimension. Guest-starring a very different type ofFEMFORCE–including Ms. Victory, Synn, Nightveil and She-Cat as you’ve NEVER seen them before–as well as GOLDEN LAD, and a ‘puzzle’ of cameos by classic Prize and Spark Publications’ heroes and heroines on par with Finnegan’s Wake! Thirty-three pages of never-before- published story and art–and the birth of a great new series!!  

Written and penciled by James Ritchey III, with inks by Loki Dolza.Standard comic book size, 40 pages, black & white with color covers,saddle-stitched. Printed in 2007.”
