In the announcement, Barbierie said:
The Author Immortal is my return to monthly comics, and I’m thrilled to be collaborating with Morgan Beem. Morgan’s art has been a constant inspiration, and she’s brought these characters and world to life in ways I never could have imagined. Together, we’re telling a story about identity, legacy, and what happens when we lose trust in the stories that define us. In recent years, many of us have felt that trust breaking down: authors falling from grace, stories treated as disposable content, and the threat of AI hollowing out what makes storytelling human. The Author Immortal is our attempt to explore what happens when we try to reclaim control and what it costs to believe in stories again. I hope this book inspires and intrigues our readers, and that you’ll join us on our journey.
Beem added:
Growing up with movies like Labyrinth and Return to Oz, I have always been fascinated by the fantastic journey to another world type of stories. Frank manages to breathe new life to the genre by bringing in characters that feel SO real in their struggles and their flaws. On my end, I get to experiment and put my own spin on the visual elements that we have come to expect from these narratives. Hopefully we get to surprise you and pull you in like those old stories did for me!
