About the series
Graveyard of Empires, a 2013 one-shot from Image Comics, drops readers into a brutal, near-future Afghanistan where a U.S. Marine patrol stumbles upon an ancient, supernatural horror buried beneath the war-torn landscape. Written by Mark Sable and drawn by Paul Azaceta, this standalone issue fuses military realism with Lovecraftian dread, offering a tense, self-contained horror story that uses a real-world conflict zone as the backdrop for something far older and more terrifying. It stands as a lean, effective example of Image's willingness to publish genre-blending one-shots that leave a lasting impression.
