NAUGHTY DOG’S THE LAST OF US RECEIVES
DARK HORSE COMICS SERIES!
October 13, NEW YORK, NY—The most anticipated video game of
2013, The Last of Us, comes to print
with a comic series and an art book from Dark Horse Comics and Naughty Dog!
The Last of Us:
American Dreams will be a four-issue series by The Last of Us lead
writer Neil Druckmann, with rising star Faith Erin Hicks (Zombies Calling, Friends with
Boys, The Adventures of Superhero
Girl) as cowriter and artist.
Ellie, the heroine of The
Last of Us, has grown up in a postpandemic world, shuttled between military
orphanages in one of the last remaining quarantine zones and resigned to the
fact that when she’s old enough, she’ll be channeled into the army or left to
fend for herself—until she meets an older girl determined to find a third way
out. American Dreams
explores Ellie’s backstory and her first steps on the road that led her to her
companion Joel.
The
first issue of The Last of Us: American Dreams will appear in the spring
of 2013.
The Art of The Last of Us, a deluxe hardcover exploring
the characters, the infected humans, and the intricately realized world of the
game, will launch in conjunction with the release of the game.

interview with Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann on IGN!
