About the series
James Tynion IV’s The Department of Truth (Image, 2020–present) posits that history’s most infamous conspiracies are real—because enough people believe them. As a young FBI agent is drawn into a secret agency that polices the line between accepted reality and dangerous myth, Martin Simmonds’s hallucinatory painted art gives visceral form to a world where a shared delusion can literally change the past. With guest artists including Alison Sampson and Letizia Cadonici, this ongoing series is a chilling, philosophically rich thriller about the power of narrative and the terrifying cost of truth in an age of misinformation.
