About the series
In the Nevada desert, a secret military base is the backdrop for a chilling modern horror series from IDW. Launched in 2009, this four-issue run is defined by the singular, atmospheric art of Ben Templesmith, whose signature style brings an otherworldly dread to the story of strange occurrences at Area 51. It matters as a taut, self-contained genre piece that leans into psychological terror and conspiracy, showcasing Templesmith's ability to make the familiar desert landscape feel deeply alien.
