Bestselling writer Curt Pires (Indigo Children ) reteams with Money graphic novel co-collaborator artist Luca Casalanguida (James Bond ) on Lost Fantasy , a new Image Comics ongoing comic book series launching this April.
In addition to this brand-new video-game inspired fantasy tale—which pays homage to the popular game Final Fantasy —the giant-sized Lost Fantasy comics will also feature a serialized backup story, Indigo Children: Exodus , that continues Pires’ hit sci-fi series Indigo Children .
Lost Fantasy explores an alternate history where a world of magic, myth, and monsters exists just beneath the surface of our own…and is threatening to break through. Fans of East of West and Something is Killing the Children will enjoy the monster-slaying historically-revisionist Lost Fantasy series, with the added bonus of a new Indigo Children mystery.
In Lost Fantasy , a magical world lies beneath ours, and first contact was made over a hundred years ago between the two worlds due to a natural disaster, resulting in a schism that allowed monsters to break through. Since then, secret monster slayers, known as The Great Hunters, have been working with global leaders to police the border and to keep our world safe from the creatures that lurk in the shadows. But last night, something broke through, resulting in a mysterious mass killing in Montana, and causing things to shift in a way that will ripple through both worlds. Now it’s up to rookie monster hunter Henry Blackheart to stop it…
“I’m so excited to be back at Image Comics with Lost Fantasy , the first title in a brand-new slate of best-in-class comics and graphic novels that I’m bringing to the pioneering publisher and home of creator-owned comics,” said Pires. “Lost Fantasy has it all: page-turning mystery and pulse-pounding action in equal measure. And I can’t wait for readers to discover it this April!”

« I’m so excited to continue to grow Lost Fantasy in collaboration with Image Comics, our amazing retail partners and readers around the world. As a special thank you for making the book a massive success we’re launching the next chapter of Lost Fantasy in a big way on November 19 with what we’re calling LOST FANTASY DAY, » said Pires. « Issue #5 and the volume one trade paperback will be released in stores simultaneously—with issue #5 featuring multiple homage variants to fan-favorite video games as well as a first look at a brand new Lost Fantasy spinoff being co-written by none other than comics superfan and multi hyphenate artist Frankie Jonas.

Following Lost Fantasy #4’s conclusion to Henry’s brutal Montana case, Lost Fantasy #5 sees Henry immediately thrust into solving the murder of one of his closest family members.
Jonas added: "Comics have been my deepest passion since before I even discovered my voice in music. Writing a book was always a dream and having my name attached to such an incredible world as Lost Fantasy is an absolute honor. I’ve been preaching the gospel of Lost Fantasy since day one’s release. When Curt reached out to me about collaborating on this exciting new project, I jumped at the opportunity. Curt is such a massive talent and getting to nestle myself beneath his wing has already been the most inspiring experience. I can’t wait for people to experience what we’ve been cooking up.”
