The rising star creator behind such breakout hits as Something Epic and Blood Commandment—Szymon Kudrański—invites fans to the frigid Diomede Islands in his upcoming thriller No Man’s Land. This four issue miniseries is set to launch this September from Image Comics. This is Kudrański’s third solo title out of his creative house, One Man Art.

For three months each year, you can walk from the USA to Russia across an ice bridge—a frozen path known as the Ice Curtain. In 1963, when the body of a young woman is discovered on this icy no-man’s land, the already fragile relationship between the superpowers threatens to collapse. With nuclear tensions rising, an FBI agent and a KGB operative must solve the murder—before the ice melts… and war ignites.

The Diomede Islands represent one of the most fascinating and geopolitically fraught locations on Earth. For three months each year, a natural ice bridge forms between the United States and Russia—raising a compelling question: who holds jurisdiction over this frozen passage, in part or in full?
