[color=999999]Well I figured it was about time I want back to my roots with spooky scary skeletons and the mystical. The sixties present a fabulous time to do it, swinging out of the repression under McCarthyism  people started to look towards the weird again: Nancy Reagan consulted an astrologer to help plan her husband’s presidential schedule; Pat Robertson suggested feminism was a plot to make women take up witchcraft; Rick Santorum identified “the father of lies, Satan,” as America’s Number One enemy, or in other words the strange and the odd was getting more mainstream attention than it had ever had previously. The fascination with the occult that would peak in the eighties started here and I figure why not spice that up a little bit with actual devil worshipers and the like.

Giovanni Zatara, famed magician and World War II era superhero is gone. Not the gone as in went away sense of the word but really [i]gone[/i] - seemingly wiped from existence and memory. The only person that seems to remember him is his daughter Zatanna Zatara. There was a time when Giovanni was training his daughter to take up his mantle as the next great Zatara crime fighter to continue a legacy stretching backwards towards antiquity to keep the forces of the beyond at bay. That time was long ago and seemingly a distant memory; after Zatanna had found out that Giovanni had been altering her memory since childhood in a way of 'protecting' her from experiencing too much trauma at a young age she stormed out. In the ten years that had followed Zatanna had all but given up on the very idea of magic and the arcane moving to Gotham where she would become a moderately successful costume designer. That all changed when a mysterious book was left on her doorstep, a book which would end up being her father's journal. Now trying to find him she has to deal with a whole different world of problems as it turns out [i]things[/i] are starting to get loose from the Source Wall.

So in short it's Lovecraft but not the water-downed Lovecraft that most people are used to. It's the real Lovecraft filled with all the racism, sexism and horror that was involved. Yet at the same time it's a story about a woman's relationship with her estranged father, and also it's a story about legacy characters those that have to take up the mantle from those before them and how they deal with the expectations. The story will be split between the present, flashbacks to Zatanna's youth, and the occasional journal entry from Giovanni. (I've actually written out a solid plot outline this time aren't you folks proud?) It might be a little dark, and it might be a little strange and I'm going to have too much fun pulling all the weird things from the world of comic books, but hey the devil's in the details right?
