PORTLAND, Ore. 02/19/2026 — Legendary artist Charlie Adlard (The Walking Dead, Heretic, Altamont) joins co-writers Chris Condon (That Texas Blood) and Andrew Ehrich, colorist Pip Martin (Everything Dead & Dying), letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou (Assorted Crisis Events), and designer Mike Tivey (News from the Fallout) for his triumphant return to single issue storytelling in this neo-noir-tinged eco-horror Of the Earth. This six issue miniseries was announced exclusively at ScreenRant yesterday and will launch in May from Image Comics.
“I’ve always wanted to work with Chris for a long time, ever since I was aware of his collaborations with Jake Phillips,” said Adlard. “And finally I got my wish with a brilliant atmospheric horror tale with an eco twist. It’s the best type of story for me—full of atmosphere and great characters. Plus I get the pleasure of working with Pip, Hassan, Andrew, and Michael.”
Tabitha 'Tabby' Black flees a sordid life for her quiet hometown of Solitude, Texas and the comfort of her Gramma's home where she was raised. Only home isn't what it once was.... and neither is Gramma.
Condon added: “Charlie Adlard is a legend in the comic book industry and I have the utmost confidence that his name alone lends this book credibility—and with good reason. Still, what makes this book special is the all-star team we've assembled. I'm honored to share a credit in this book with letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, colorist Pip Martin, designer Michael Tivey, and last but not least, my good friend and co-writer Andrew Ehrich, a newbie to the industry. Of The Earth is an atmospheric, terror-soaked excursion into the unknown; an eco-horror story with a suspenseful neo-noir tinge. It's John Carpenter's The Thing meets Blood Simple and I cannot wait to unleash this oil-soaked terror upon the world with Charlie and the rest of the team.”
Of the Earth #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, May 20:
- Cover A by Adlard
- Cover B by Jacob Phillips
Of the Earth #1 will also be available across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.
