Ancient Tales from the Future

James Rubino’s Ancient Tales from the Future (2008–present, James Rubino Comics) is a compact, three-issue series that flips the typical time-travel premise on its head, exploring how the far future might mythologize our present as ancient history. Written and drawn entirely by Rubino, the series blends surreal science fiction with a folkloric tone, treating modern artifacts and events as relics of a lost age. Its limited run packs a dense, imaginative world into a small space, making it a distinctive entry in independent comics.
