Image Comics Announces New Three-Issue ‘Dutch’ Series For 2024

by Olly MacNamee

Chap Yaep’s Golden-Era comic book charcater, Dutch, stars in Dutch #0 prologue by writer Joe Casey (JesusFreak, Butcher Baker, The Righteous Maker) and artist Nathan Fox (The Weatherman, Dark Reign: Zodiac, Dogs of War) and hits stores today. But, what may be news to you is that from here we will be getting a new three-issue miniseries, by Casey and artist Simon Gane (Sunburn, Paris) from Image Comics in February 2024.

Dutch #1 Cover A by Simon Gane

“In Dutch, the classic ’90s super-soldier returns. An enemy from the past has forced Dutch back into the belly of the beast—but will his former teammates welcome him back? Or will a cybernetic kill team get to him first?”

Incoming artist, Gane, said:

“As soon as I read Joe’s script for Dutch, I wanted to draw it. It’s literally explosive from the start and manages to be both bombastic and deft throughout, and so much fun! He’s cooking alright. Like a Michelin-starred chef with a flamethrower.”

Casey added:

“Believe me when I say, Dutch #0 is just the beginning. This new miniseries with the great Simon Gane is the next, white-hot phase of something much bigger—maybe the biggest, most expansive story I’ve ever told at Image Comics. Personally, I can’t wait for readers to see the mayhem that Simon and I are cooking up, taking the classic Image action aesthetic and launching it into the next decade!”
