Collects Planetary (1999) #13-15. Written by Warren Ellis. Art and Cover by John Cassaday. In #13's "Century" - In the early part of the 20th century, a young Elijah Snow tracks down the last of a hidden conspiracy. Its members include John Griffin (Invisible Man), H.G. Wells, Baron Frankenstein and his Monster, Robor, Carnacki, Sherlock Homes and Dracula, among others. All have been accounted for except two: The detective and the vampire. In #14's "Zeropoint" - You know who The Fourth Man is by now -- this is the story of how he was lost. Elijah Snow's story moves into the 1990's, showing the vicious game between The Four and Planetary -- Snow, Jakita Wagner, the young Drummer and Ambrose Chase. This is also how it all went horribly wrong. Now Snow, founder of Planetary, richest man on Earth and the greatest investigator in the world, is back. And he's not playing any more games. And in #15's "Creation Songs" - For Elijah Snow, it's time to look at everything that Planetary has encountered during the past year and start piecing it all together. Who is the Hark Corporation? Why do they sometimes work with The Four? And the biggest question of all: Why are The Four currently in Australia, building a giant gun atop Ayers Rock? 72 pages, full color. Cover price $5.95.
