Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Private investigator Alec Swan, against his own wishes, becomes embroiled in a case involving the strange and the ultra-human. The first movie that's faithful to the comic book... because it IS the comic book! This VHS film was bundled with Malibu Comics' Firearm #0, part of its Ultraverse line.
