About the series
In 2008, Image Comics launched Pilot Season: Urban Myths as a one-shot tryout by writer Jay Faerber and artist Jorge Molina, testing the waters for a series that would blend modern-day superheroics with the hidden lives of legendary figures. The premise reimagines classic folklore and urban legends as actual beings living secretly among us, forced to navigate a world that both fears and mythologizes them. Though it remains a single-issue pilot, its compact world-building and Molina's dynamic art showcase a clever, grounded take on the idea that the monsters and heroes of our stories might be more real—and more complicated—than we think.
