‘Of The Earth’– New Eco-Horror From Image Comics, The Walking Dead’s Charlie Adlard, Chris Condon And Andrew Ehrich

Image Comics broke the news of a new horror comic book series, Of the Earth #1, from co-writers Chris Condon and Andrew Ehrich, artist Charlie Adlard, colourist Pip Martin, letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhao and designer Mike Tivey exclusively on ScreenRant. And now we get to share the news, too.

First, the synopsis:

“Tabitha ‘Tabby’ Black flees a sordid life for her quiet hometown of Solitude, Texas and the comfort of her Gramma’s home where she was raised. Only home isn’t what it once was … and neither is Gramma.

Now the creator statements:

“I’ve always wanted to work with Chris for a long time, ever since I was aware of his collaborations with Jake Phillips. And finally I got my wish with a brilliant atmospheric horror tale with an eco twist. It’s the best type of story for me — full of atmosphere and great characters. Plus I get the pleasure of working with Pip, Hassan, Andrew, and Michael.” – Charlie Adlard

“Charlie Adlard is a legend in the comic book industry and I have the utmost confidence that his name alone lends this book credibility — and with good reason. Still, what makes this book special is the all-star team we’ve assembled. I’m honored to share a credit in this book with letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, colorist Pip Martin, designer Michael Tivey, and last but not least, my good friend and co-writer Andrew Ehrich, a newbie to the industry. Of The Earth is an atmospheric, terror-soaked excursion into the unknown; an eco-horror story with a suspenseful neo-noir tinge. It’s John Carpenter’s The Thing meets Blood Simple and I cannot wait to unleash this oil-soaked terror upon the world with Charlie and the rest of the team.” – Chris Condon

And now the first look:

Of the Earth #1 will be out on the 20th of May from Image Comics.
