The Death-Defying Doctor Mirage Vol 1 1

Promises are for scam artists, Leo. You know that.

-- Doctor Mirage

Solicitation[]

Death was just the beginning…

Doctor Mirage talks to the dead…but the only spirit Shan Fong can’t ﬁnd is that of her late husband, Hwen. Instead, America’s favorite semi-retired paranormal investigator is haunted and raw, using her gift to solve homicides and bring peace to the recently bereaved. But when a big-time occultist with a classified military past hires her for a special job, Shan discovers a lead that might close the greatest mystery she’s ever tackled – how to get Hwen back. Now, Doctor Mirage must enter the undiscovered country and cross all the realms of the underworld, if she has any hope of rescuing the man she loves…or be forever lost beyond the earthly plane.

Notes[]

Shan's deceased husband only appears on the cover but not in the actual story. He's only mentioned a couple of times. Despite being able to see and communicate ghosts (or spirits of the deceased), Shan has not been able to contact her deceased husband in five years.
This issue had multiple printings. In addition to a second printing, there was an alternate "Plus Edition" published the same month featuring additional content. The issue was later reprinted in a "One Dollar Debut" edition in February, 2016.
