Ben Stenbeck (Baltimore, Frankenstein Underground, Koshchei) is launching an all-new Dystopian tale titled Our Bones Dust this December. The four-issue miniseries will be published by Image Comics with the first issue out on December 6th. The first issue will come with two covers, with the B cover by Mike Mignola.
“I’m really excited to get my first solo series out into the world,” said Stenbeck. “My aim was to make something I would enjoy reading myself. It’s very different to any of the work I’ve done before but I hope still as entertaining in its own way.”
So what’s Our Bones Dust about?
A feral child, equal parts predator and prey, navigates a nightmare landscape of brutality and blood inhabited by scattered cannibal tribes. An interesting place to poke around for a curious Artificial Intelligence.

Early praise for Our Bones Dust:
“I’ve had the great pleasure of working with Ben for about a million years now so I’m a bit conflicted saying this—But I think this, his first big solo effort, is the best thing he’s ever done. I’d like to think maybe I taught him every thing he knows but the truth is he’s always been great and now he’s just taken that extra step and has finally become that truly great creator he was always meant to be.” —Mike Mignola
“This is great stuff. Our Bones Dust is a perfect example of ambitious world-building and effective storytelling working together to deliver a real page-turner.” —Frank Quitely
