Ben Stenbeck returns to the Lands Unknown Universe with a brand new two-issue series featuring The Skinless Man.
The Skinless Man first appeared in Mike Mignola and Ben Stenbeck’s first Lands Unknown story in Bowling With Corpses and Other Strange Tales From Lands Unknown anthology. The new story begins when a traveler is forced to take shelter in a witch’s house, and hears the horrific tale of The Skinless Man.
“I’m beyond thrilled to have my first contribution to the world of Lands Unknown released into the wild,” says Ben Stenbeck. “It’s such an exciting world to work in. The possibilities are endless, and I have big plans for a lot of stories that might seem disconnected at first, but they are all part of a larger story. A story about people searching for things they may or may not need in Lands Unknown. Also monsters and magic and talking animals in exotic locations.”
“I’ve had the good fortune to work with Ben for a lot of years now, so I know how good he is—But I’ve also had a pretty good idea how good he COULD BE if he were really given the room to cut loose,” explains Mike Mignola. “That was a large part of the whole Lands Unknown thing, creating a place where Ben would have no choice but to cut loose—And he has—And it’s wonderful. I love what he’s done here, and I REALLY love that this is just the tip of his crazy iceberg of talking animals, evil wizards, monsters and giants. There is nobody out there I’d rather be sharing a world with.”
The Lands Unknown universe continues to expand in Mike Mignola’s upcoming graphic novel titled Uri Tupka and The Gods: Another Story from Lands Unknown on February 24.
Lands Unknown: The Skinless Man #1 will be available at your local comic shop on March 4.
