Jeff Lemire has inked a deal to work exclusively with Image Comics. Lemire is a longtime creator with Image with a deep backlist of hit titles including Descender, Ascender, Gideon Falls, Primordial, A.D.: After Death, Family Tree, Plutona, and Royal City. In 2022 he will re-team with Dustin Nugyen for the upcoming Little Monsters in March and then with Andrea Sorrentino on The Bone Orchard Mythos of shared horror universe titles.
Lemire said about the announcement:
“Having worked with Image on so many projects over the last decade, I’ve come to appreciate the complete creative freedom and support that they’ve provided me. I’m excited to make Image the exclusive home for all my projects in the years to come, both solo projects that I will draw myself, and my various collaborations. Bone Orchard and Little Monsters are just the start of what I have planned this year and beyond.”
Lemire is also known for the critically acclaimed Sweet Tooth (which has a Netflix adaptation of the same name), Trillium, Essex County, The Underwater Welder, Black Hammer, and more. A number of Lemire’s works have caught the attention of Hollywood with Essex County in development at CBC, Underwater Welder at Waypoint Entertainment with Ryan Gosling attached as producer, Snow Angels at AMC, Gideon Falls with Hivemind, Descender at Lark and NBC Universal, and Family Tree with Orion.
