*The Lycan* is inspired by a story conceived by Thomas Jane and screenwriter David James Kelly (known for *Logan*). The script is penned by Mike Carey, renowned for his work on *Lucifer* and *The Unwritten*. The artwork is crafted by Diego Yapur, with colors by D.C. Alonso, and lettering by AndWorld Design. Tim Bradstreet, acclaimed for his work on *Punisher MAX* and *Hellblazer*, will grace the series with his cover art.
Here's the official synopsis from Comixology for *The Lycan #1*:
*Year of Our Lord 1777: A seasoned group of international big game hunters, en route from Africa, find themselves shipwrecked on a small British island.*
*In exchange for new supplies and repairs to their vessel, The Calydonian, Lord Ludgate recruits them for a task they're uniquely qualified for: hunt down the Berserking Beasts terrorizing his subjects, including a group of young Benedictine Nuns, and eradicate them.*
*The Lycan #1* is slated for a digital release on Tuesday, February 18, and will be available exclusively on the Comixology Originals platform. After the series concludes, Ablaze Comics will offer a print collection.
