Summation :
Set in the late nineteen eighties,
THE THEM and their way of infiltrating society is revealed....
But THE THEM don't have it all so easy, as they have a Nemisis...
Yet all of this is not what it appears to be...
Which will lead THE THEM to suspect that there is more going on here,
than that which meets the eye of THE THEM....

THE THEM Volume one.
Based on the short film 'THE THEM'
THE THEM have come here to make this world their own.
There are no legends of THE THEM, there is no folklore,
not even hidden references throughout all of history...
The very nature of their existence has never even been speculated or guessed at...

The fact that they operate so discreetly, and nobody has actually known or even suspects that they exist at all, makes it easy to operate without any hinderance by those of us around them... So secret are THE THEM, that not even a secret organisation of superheroes stands to oppose them at all, only their own rules stand in their way, rules which are unashamedly slanted, in favour of THE THEM... But THE THEM have run into an unforseen glitch in their methods... They are loosing their own game, it has become their time of crisis, they even suspect something they don't know about, knows about them.... But before they realise this, many Earthlings will realise the true ghastly horror of being selected for replacement by THE THEM...

Volume one is obviously an introduction to THE THEM in their capacity as infiltrators of society,
and the build up to their realisation that they may not be alone...

When THE THEM come for you, they will get you...
