Fans of graphic novels and dystopian tales, the celebrated artist and long-time Hellboy collaborator, Ben Stenbeck, is gearing up to launch his highly anticipated solo series titled “Our Bones Dust.” This four-issue miniseries promises to transport readers to a nightmarish world of brutality, blood, and survival. Set to debut this December from Image Comics, “Our Bones Dust” is poised to captivate audiences with its unique narrative and mesmerizing artwork.
The narrative of “Our Bones Dust” unfolds in a desolate landscape inhabited by scattered cannibal tribes, where a feral child, teetering on the edge of predator and prey, must navigate the grim terrain. This dystopian world serves as an intriguing backdrop, drawing the attention of curious minds, including Artificial Intelligence.
Stenbeck, who is renowned for his contributions to the Hellboy universe, expressed his enthusiasm for his first solo series, stating,
“I’m really excited to get my first solo series out into the world. My aim was to make something I would enjoy reading myself. It’s very different from any of the work I’ve done before, but I hope it’s still as entertaining in its own way.”

Early reviews of “Our Bones Dust” have already begun to pour in, with fellow artist and collaborator Mike Mignola offering high praise,
“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 everything 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.”
