About the series
Paolo Parente's Dust, launched by Image in 2008, is a single-issue comic that serves as a prelude to the larger, dieselpunk "Dust" universe. Written and illustrated by Paolo Parente, this one-shot introduces a gritty alternate-history World War II where advanced technology and occult forces clash. It matters as the foundational entry point for a sprawling transmedia franchise, establishing the tone and visual style that would later expand into a full line of comics and a tactical miniatures game.
