About the series
In 2006, Image Comics released The Cryptics, a lean three-issue series co-written by Benjamin Roman and Steve Niles. Roman also handled the art, bringing a distinct visual identity to this short, self-contained run. While it didn't have a long lifespan, the series stands as a notable collaboration between a rising creator and a seasoned horror writer, offering a tight, creator-owned story in the mid-2000s Image landscape.
