The Autumnlands #1 – 2014 launches an epic, high-concept fantasy series brought to life by acclaimed writer Kurt Busiek and illustrator Benjamin Dewey. Originally titled The Autumnlands: Tooth & Claw, this debut issue from Image Comics introduces readers to a spellbinding world of magic, mystery, and anthropomorphic intrigue.
Set in a crumbling high-fantasy realm where magic sustains civilisation, the elite spellcasters of the floating cities find their power waning. In desperation, they enact a bold and dangerous ritual to summon a mythical saviour from the forgotten past—one who may not be what they expected. As the ritual unfolds, the balance of power shifts dramatically, threatening everything the ruling classes once held sacred.
Kurt Busiek, renowned for his masterful world-building in titles like Astro City, crafts a deep and richly textured universe populated by talking beasts, political tension, and ancient secrets. His storytelling is layered, intelligent, and brimming with tension. Benjamin Dewey’s art is lush, expressive, and cinematic—perfectly capturing both the grandeur of the magical world and the raw emotion of its characters. His attention to detail, paired with Jordie Bellaire’s moody, atmospheric colours, brings The Autumnlands to life in a way that feels truly unique among fantasy comics.
This premiere issue is oversized, offering a substantial first chapter that delivers real value to both new readers and collectors. With its elegant blend of fantasy, social commentary, and character-driven narrative, The Autumnlands #1 is a standout debut that promises depth and long-term appeal.
