Ben Stenbeck is heading back to the Lands Unknown universe with Furious Redbrow, a three-issue miniseries from Dark Horse. Dark Horse lists issue #1 for Wednesday 17 March 2027.
It tells the early story of the God-Killer, a character first seen in Lands Unknown: The Skinless Man, as The Beat reported.
What is Furious Redbrow about?
If you haven't read The Skinless Man, AIPT Comics sums up his first appearance. A battle-worn old warrior, travelling with his animal companions, meets a witch whose unsettling tale ends with her naming him God-Killer.
That warrior is Redbrow, and this series rewinds to his younger days. He's the son of Whitedog, who carries the spider woman's blessing and was brought up as a monster hunter. Redbrow's own story starts in the harsh country far to the west of the Lands Unknown.
Stenbeck introduced the older Redbrow in the earlier book. As he puts it, he's now "going back to his youth and the world he grew up in far off to the west of Lands Unknown. A savage unforgiving place to live, for man or beast."
Creative team and covers
Stenbeck writes and draws Furious Redbrow, with colours by Dave Stewart and letters by Clem Robins. Issue 1 has a main cover by Stenbeck, plus variant covers from:
- Mike Mignola
- Andrea Borgioni
- Ben McEntee
