About the series
In 2010, Image Comics kicked off its Pilot Season initiative with 39 Minutes, a one-shot thriller by writer William Harms and artist Jerry Lando. The story imagines a terrifying real-time scenario: what would you do if you received a phone call telling you that in exactly 39 minutes, everyone you love will die? This tense, standalone comic served as a proof-of-concept for a potential ongoing series, showcasing the publisher's willingness to test new ideas and talent with a single, high-stakes issue.
