The Marvels #1

Seamen put on a play in which Marcus is an angel; when the ship sinks, Billy gets Marcus to an island, where Marcus dies. The rescued boy joins a theatre, and an artist paints Marcus as an angel in the dome. Billy rescues a foundling who becomes an actor, and founds a line of actors. But Alexander Marvel becomes a recluse in hiding beneath the theatre and known only to his grandson Leontes, whom he encourages in his passion for art rather than theatre. In the 1900s Leontes is about to run away when the theatre catches fire. He rushes into the flames in hopes of saving his grandfather.
