Thomas Jane’s Horror Comic ‘The Lycan’ Launches This Month via Comixology Originals

Thomas Jane is no stranger to the world of comics, having starred as Marvel antihero Frank Castle in 2004’s The Punisher, but now he’s serving as the editor the horror comic The Lycan.

Based on a story by Jane and screenwriter David James Kelly (Robin Hood), the six-issue series is penned by The Girl with All the Gifts author/screenwriter Mike Carey.

Newcomer Diego Yapur serves as the artist, with coloring by D.C. Alonso and lettering by AndWorld Design. Eisner Award nominee Tim Bradstreet (The Punisher, Hellblazer) designed the cover art.

The Lycan #1 takes a bite out of life on February 18 via Amazon’s Comixology Originals in conjunction with Jane’s Renegade Entertainment. Additional issues will publish on April 1, May 13, June 24, August 5, and September 16.

Set in 1777, the story sees a hardened band of international big game hunters shipwrecked off a small British island. In exchange for new supplies and the repairing of their ship, Lord Ludgate tasks the men with finding the Berserking Beasts that have been eating his subjects and destroy them.

“This comic has been years in the making,” says Jane. “It wasn’t until Mike Carey turned in his blood curdling, masterfully executed script that we knew we had something different. Something special.”

As an actor, Jane’s genre credits include Deep Blue Sea, The Mist, Dreamcatcher, 1922, Before I Wake, The Crow: City of Angels, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
