Mike Mignola redefined how comics can be made, what they should look like and what they can be with Hellboy. Now, 30 years on the artist’s new shared universe, Bowling With Corpses and Other Strange Tales From Lands Unknown, is set to shake things up all over again.
“It is entirely made of the stuff I love about old stories—myths and folklore,” says Mike about the new folklore-inspired fantasy anthology, written by Ben Stenbeck and illustrated with Mike Mignola’s trademark bold, minimalist and atmospheric art style.
Published by Dark Horse, Bowling With Corpses will be the first book from Mike Mignola’s new Curious Objects imprint, and launches the new Lands Unknown universe. This first book, Bowling With Corpses, features a boy who wins a prize from a corpse king, a pirate girl who strikes a deal with the devil and a vampire girl who, well… you get the idea.
This is why I love social media for information such as this. I would otherwise not be aware Mignola is putting out new stuff. Looks solid!
I’m definitely all in on this.
