‘Dust To Dust’ Exclusive Preview Teases A Dark Serial Killer Tale
JG Jones, created of Wanted, is partnering with co-writer Phil Bram on a new serial killer limited comic series titled Dust To Dust. Set during the Dust Bowl, the 10-issue series is set to release later this year from Image Comics. With a gorgeous yet bleak art style, Jones and Bram capture the desolation of the era in their daring new story.
Read the full synopsis:
Dust To Dust is a new miniseries that follows a tormented Oklahoma sheriff and a scrappy photojournalist as they hunt a serial killer at the height of the dust-choked Great Depression. It promises readers an unforgettable yarn of desperation, murder, and resilience in this beautifully hand-painted story of Americana in the primal grip of brutality.
In the darkest days of the Great Depression, death stalks the Dust Bowl. As towering dust storms blast the parched Oklahoma panhandle, farmers try to flee the failing town of New Hope, but no one gets far. Battling his own demons, Sheriff Meadows teams up with Sarah, a traveling photojournalist, in a desperate fight to stop a serial killer on the loose—the Death that rides the Dusters.

Jones said of the series to Bleeding Cool:
“When I was a kid, I loved listening to the old folks tell stories of the difficulties living through the Great Depression, and surviving the American Dust Bowl. It was almost inconceivable what these poor people lived through as the result of rapid modernization, politics, war, and blind greed. Massive walls of dust that blew so hard they sandblasted everything in their path. Cattle killed by crackling rods of static electricity. Biblical plagues of hungry jackrabbits so dense it was like the earth itself was on the move. Shellshocked, disfigured veterans staggering along lonely highways, looking for food and shelter.“
“Entire communities packed their meager belongings and fled to California to look for work. I wondered how it could possibly be any worse. Then it occurred to me: No one is allowed to leave. Death rides the dust storms, and the town of New Hope is directly in its path.”
