“Biting satire and wickedly gorgeous action. A new Steve Skroce comic is always cause for celebration.” – Jason Aaron (Bug Wars, Absolute Superman)
“After reading Tales of Wonder, I want to meet my own characters and go on an adventure with them, too.” – Ludo Lullabi (Ghost Pepper, Battle Chasers)
Today Skybound and Image Comics revealed a stunning set of variant covers by acclaimed artist Jorge Fornés (Wonder Woman) for Tales of Wonder. The new limited series from superstar creator/writer/artist Steve Skroce (We Stand on Guard, Wolverine, The Matrix Trilogy), colorist Ian Herring (Ms. Marvel, The Shaolin Cowboy), and letterer Pat Brosseau (G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero) arrives this fall, when the first issue hits comic book shops on September 2, 2026.
Steve Skroce debuts Tales of Wonder, an all-new action-packed limited series for fans of Ghost Pepper and The Ultimates, with a set of America’s Freedom Force variant covers spanning the first three issues from Jorge Fornés.
Stu and Jake’s friendship was forged in WW2, but the one thing it couldn’t survive was the comic book industry. As their Wonder Comics creations grew from four-color sensations to a global phenomenon, everything changed…
Now, these two legendary comic creators have reunited to launch the America’s Freedom Force cinematic universe, only to discover the make-believe superheroes and monsters from their stories are very, very real.
