The Department of Truth: Wild Fictions - by James Tynion IV (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

THE X-FILES meets SOMETHING IS KILLING THE CHILDREN and for fans of THE BLACK MONDAY MURDERS

"A wonderfully dizzy mixture of Men in Black, John Carpenter, Stephen King, The Matrix, and 1970s conspiracy thrillers."- Forbes

Some fictions manifest in reality as dangerous, half-formed things. The Department of Truth relies on hunters to track down and contain these wild tulpas before they become too real. In these case files from the Department of Truth Field Office, discover the truths, hoaxes, and lore of some of the most dangerous cryptids the rangers have ever catalogued.

Designed as in-world reports on beings like Mothman, Bigfoot, the Flatwoods Monster, and more, each entry features stunning art from some of the most renowned illustrators in comics, including James Stokoe, Bill Sienkiewicz, Yuko Shimuzu, Erica Henderson, DEPARTMENT OF TRUTH co-creator Martin Simmonds, and more.

This oversized, deluxe hardcover collects the breakout Bigfoot story arc of the original series, plus exclusive additional material from the acclaimed series by multiple Eisner Award-winning writer James Tynion IV (W0RLDTR33, The Nice House on the Lake) and acclaimed artist Martin Simmonds.
