Bruce Dickinson and writer Tony Lee have teamed up for the 12-issues limited series The Mandrake Project. With art by Staz Johnson, the series follows a century-spanning war between science and magic as they try to control immortality.
Here’s what Dickinson had to say:
“Early in the process of writing my new album, the idea of a companion comic book began to take shape in my mind.” says Bruce Dickinson. “So I approached Z2 who were recommended to me by Kurt Sutter (Sons of Anarchy, The Shield) and Sacha Gervasi (My Dinner with Hervé, Anvil). I then found out that my management were already working with on the POM Maiden graphic novel which I contributed the Revelations story to! I then pitched them with a fully formed concept and written storyline which they immediately understood and enthusiastically started fleshing out plans and ideas with me! I knew right then,” Dickinson continues, “that they would be the perfect creative team to help bring my own ideas to fruition…and here they are!”
The Mandrake Project #1 comes to comic stores January 17, 2024.
