Like other comiXology Originals, The Stone King is free to read for members of Amazon Prime, Kindle Unlimited and comiXology Unlimited, and print editions will be available via Amazon’s Print-on-Demand service.

The Stone King will go on sale at a later date, but should be available for preorder now. In addition to his work on Harrow County, Crook is the award-winning cartoonist of Petrograd and one of the artists behind Mike Mignola’s B.P.R.D.: Hell on Earth. McDonald is the creator of the webcomic Sorcery 101, a contributor to the Smut Peddler and Sleep of Reason anthologies and the writer/artist of Dark Horse Comics’ Misfits of Avalon. The Stone King is a four-issue all-ages fantasy adventure about “finding who you are through taking responsibility for your mistakes.” The mini-series follows a teen thief who provokes a giant in her quest to determine her future path. Among the teased future contributors was Harrow County artist Tyler Crook, and today Paste can exclusively share a first look at his comiXology Originals series The Stone King, created with writer Kel McDonald and announced today at Comic-Con International in San Diego. Last month, Paste shared the news that comiXology is releasing original creator-owned comic books and graphic novels for the first time as part of its comiXology Originals program, which previously ran digital-first licensed comics from publishers including Marvel Comics and Valiant Entertainment.
