About the series
James Stokoe’s Orc Stain is a singular, lavishly detailed fantasy epic from Image Comics that ran for seven issues between 2010 and 2012. It follows a one-eyed orc named Stanktooth in a brutal world where orcs are ruled by a terrifying, headless tyrant who hoards a mysterious, powerful substance known as "stain." Stokoe’s dense, hyper-detailed art and inventive, grotesque worldbuilding make this a cult classic, celebrated for its unique take on orc society and its raw, unapologetic creativity. A must-read for fans of creator-owned, visually audacious fantasy.
