About the series
Ben Templesmith's The Squidder is a four-issue series from IDW, launched in 2014, that blends his signature, visceral art style with a grim, post-apocalyptic sci-fi narrative. The story follows a lone survivor of a war against alien squid-like beings, exploring themes of trauma and survival in a beautifully grotesque world. Templesmith serves as both writer and artist, making the series a singular vision of his unique, painterly horror aesthetic. It stands as a compelling, self-contained example of his creator-owned work.
