Organisms From an Ancient Cosmos: Director of Bone Tomahawk Brings a Supernatural Sci-Fi Graphic Novel to Dark Horse
Dark Horse Comics announced that award-winning filmmaker S. Craig Zahler, director of the film Bone Tomahawk is bringing a supernatural sci-fi thriller to the publisher in Organisms from an Ancient Cosmos. The story will weave a suspenseful tale of first contact as an alien spacecraft appears over the Pacific Ocean.
The full description of the OGN from the press release reads:
“An alien spacecraft the size of a city materializes over the Pacific Ocean and the nations of the world jointly engage this enigmatic and incommunicative visitor with force. This battle results in large-scale destruction on both sides, but does not answer any of the questions that will haunt humanity: What are these utterly inhuman creatures? Where did they come from? Why did they choose to visit our planet? And . . . most importantly. . . are more forces on the way? For the bereaved billionaire Carlton Land, renowned biologist Aimee O’Donnell, and the brilliant, but blunt USAAF Chief Scientist Kenneth Yamazaki, these questions must be answered in order to safeguard the future of the human race.”
Zahler talked about his achievements and the joys of being able to take on another graphic novel, saying:
“My first artistic interest was illustration, and after writing eight novels, recording nine albums, and directing three movies, it was a pleasure to draw once more. In this graphic novel, which is my second, I explore morally complex characters, intimate human drama, large-scale world building, and speculative science. I began working on the piece at the very beginning of lockdown and finished more than a year later when I received my first vaccine. Creating ‘Organisms from an Ancient Cosmos’ was an incredibly gratifying experience, and I’m thrilled to have it published by Dark Horse Comics, whose books I’ve read since the eighties.”
Organisms from an Ancient Cosmos will collect the original graphic novel in a hardcover edition. It will be available at your favorite local comic shop and everywhere books are sold. You can preorder online or find a local comic shop/bookstore near you using the links below:
