Buckle up for an inside look at this month’s debut issue of the new ongoing horror-fantasy series Lost Fantasy, by bestselling writer Curt Pires and frequent co-collaborator, artist Luca Casalanguida.
This behind the scenes sneak peek shares the process behind the pulse-pounding opening. Additionally, a glimpse at the character design sketches by Casalanguida shows the conceptualization of the leads from the new series, which explores an alternate version of our world where magic, myth, and monsters exist just beneath the surface of our own.
In Lost Fantasy, there’s a magical world that lies beneath ours, and first contact was made over a hundred years ago between the two worlds due to a natural disaster, resulting in a schism that allowed monsters to break through. Since then, secret monster slayers, known as The Great Hunters, have been working with global leaders to police the border and to keep our world safe from the creatures that lurk in the shadows. But last night, something broke through, resulting in a mysterious mass killing in Montana, and causing things to shift in a way that will ripple through both worlds. Now it’s up to rookie monster hunter Henry Blackheart to stop it…
In addition to the JPRG-inspired Lost Fantasy tale, the giant-sized comics will also feature a serialized backup story, Indigo Children: Exodus, that continues Pires’ hit sci-fi series Indigo Children.
The series will also feature an homage variant cover series (Cover B of each issue) illustrated by artist Alex Diotto, which will pay tribute to iconic video games, manga, and stories that have influenced the series, including Final Fantasy, Berserk, Devil May Cry, with more to be revealed soon.
