Lands Unknown: The Skinless Man #1

A storm-wracked night in the mountains forces a lone traveler to seek shelter in a witch's house, where the witch spins a yarn about The Skinless Man—merciless, ever-hungry for new skin—and the warlocks who tried to deceive him. This first entry in Lands Unknown blends horror with dark fantasy, driven by Ben Stenbeck's moody art and taut storytelling. Co-created with Hellboy's Mike Mignola, the tale anchors a larger horror-fantasy universe and introduces a perilous world beyond civilization's edge. At 32 pages, this compact two-issue miniseries delivers a punchy, atmospheric dose of dread and wonder that will appeal to readers who savor folklore-inspired horror, mythic stakes, and character-forward storytelling. Its stark, gothic visuals and crisp panels build tension as the Skinless Man closes in, while the witch's elegiac tale hints at a larger myth lurking just beyond the firelight.
