Ben Templesmith Joins ‘The Department Of Truth’

Department of Truth #36 cover crop

Ben Templesmith seems like such a perfect fit for The Department of Truth, it’s surprising he hasn’t popped up on the title before. And in fact, he will with issue #36… And we’ve got a first look inside the Image Comics book here.

“Ben is actually one of the first-ever artists we dreamed of inviting to do a guest story arc of The Department of Truth way back when the series launched, so it’s thrilling to have him on this story that’s millions of years in the making,” said writer James Tynion IV via press release. “He’s been a natural fit for our messed-up little world and we can’t wait for readers to see what we’ve been building these last few months. Not only will we be digging up the buried history of one of the Department’s legacy families, we’ll also be revealing the evangelical origins of Charity, the deadliest new member of Lee’s crew. Also dinosaurs. Lots of dinosaurs.”

Added Templesmith, “I am that child you shouldn’t give scissors to, because I’m clearly going to run around with them. But it’s hellishly fun to run around with what James and Martin have done with The Department of Truth and let me have a little go. It’s been a blast!”

The Department of Truth #36 hits stores on March 25. Get a look at the covers, interior pages, and synopsis below.

In the early ’90s, cable TV is king and something ancient is watching from the static. Only Hunky—the reclusive son of the field office’s very first hunter—takes its threat seriously. And when Hunky notices primordial evil brewing at an evangelical theme park in the Florida Everglades, he may be the only one who can save the beautiful young woman named Charity caught in the middle of it all…
