Experience the very first issue of Once & Future, the political and supernatural thriller filled with monsters, mysticism, and magic, in this special Pen & Ink format for the first time. Relive the adventures of ex-monster hunter Bridgette McGuire and her museum curator grandson Duncan like never before, with new commentary from the creative team! From bestselling writer Kieron Gillen (The Wicked + The Divine, Star Wars) and award-winning artist Dan Mora (Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Klaus), explore the past’s strangest secrets, the complicated truths of our history, and the strength of family during dire times!
“As soon as we brought back the Pen & Ink program in 2023, we knew we had to give fans the chance to delve deeper into the epic world of Once & Future,” said BOOM! Studios President of Publishing and Marketing, Filip Sablik. “Kieron Gillen’s masterful writing and Dan Mora’s epic art style resulted in Once & Future #1 selling out eight times, making it the perfect candidate for the Pen & Ink treatment!”
Every Pen & Ink issue will feature a premium cardstock cover and luxuriously thick wood free interior paper, alongside a gorgeous Spot UV variant cover and a blank sketch cover.
Once & Future #1: Pen & Ink will be available August 2024 exclusively at local comic book shops (use comicshoplocator.com to find the nearest one).
