A story about the stories that shape us — and the power they still hold. Hector Ramirez is a failed writer who gets the opportunity of a lifetime: to help reboot the fantasy book series that defined his childhood. But when he discovers the original author has mysteriously vanished into his fictional world, Hector is pulled into a realm where stories are alive, and some are willing to kill to stay in control. From acclaimed writer Frank J. Barbiere (Five Ghosts, Violent Love) and rising-star watercolor artist Morgan Beem (Swamp Thing: Twin Branches, You Belong Here) comes a literary fantasy for fans of Locke & Key, The Magicians, and Saga with an oversized 40-page debut issue. The Author Immortal is a bold new ongoing series about legacy, imagination, and reclaiming the power of storytelling.
