Screen Rant can exclusively reveal Tula Lotay’s stunning connecting covers for the upcomingThe Horizon Experiment- a bold experiment where each issue acts as a pilot for a larger independent series.InfidelandThe Good Asiancreator Pornsak Pichetshoteis acting as show runner for the series of one-shots, which take new approaches to genre stories and beloved pop culture icons while starring characters from marginalized backgrounds.
Lotay’s art connects the James Bond-inspiredThe Manchurian, the Muslim exorcist ofThe Sacred Damned, East African werewolf story Moon Dogs,Evil Dead-styleMotherf#cking Monsters, and the Indiana Jones-esqueFinders/Keepers, in which an archeology student steals artifacts from museums to return them to their native cultures. The series will be co-edited by Pichetshote and Will Dennis.
While each issue will showcase its own art style, Lotay’s amazing covers -seen in their full glory for the first time here- showcaseThe Horizon Experiment’s ambitious plans as a singular vision. Speaking exclusively to Screen Rant, Lotay says:
It’s rare to be asked to work on a series of connecting covers for different books with such incredible varied stories. That had my interest piqued straight away. But working with Pornsak and Will at the helm meant I needed to do this project. I love them both and the idea behind The Horizon Experiment is brilliant! The stories are so good - it made working on this set of covers a pleasure. Really proud of how it came out and to be involved in such a wonderful project.
