On the heels of the release of Uri Tupka and the Gods, Mike Mignola’s latest foray into the Lands Unknown universe he’s created with Ben Stenbeck, Dark Horse has announced that its sequel, Uri Tupka and the Devils, will arrive in November.
Mignola will once again team up with colorist Dave Stewart and letterer Clem Robins for the graphic novel, which follows Uri’s quest to discover the secret history of this “strange new shared universe.”
“Uri has found the gods but he still has questions and so he’s gone to look for the answers — in a nightmare castle full of devils!” Mignola said, “See Uri change shape, tumble through his own inner workings and take a pretty savage beating. I put the poor guy through the wringer in this one and I feel a little bad about that, but you gotta do what you gotta do, and these ‘Lands Unknown’ are not all sunshine and flowers.”
In the first volume, wayward theologian Uri Tupka attempted to prove that the Lands Unknown world was shaped by ancient, powerful gods. In this volume, he sets his sights a bit lower, as he searches for “the truth about the darkness before the world began and what it means for mankind,” which leads him to a castle filled with devils — and books, which offer new insights, clarity and dangers to his quest.
Stenbeck and Mignola announced the Lands Unknown universe back in 2024, and so far Mignola has published two graphic novels set in the world — the first Uri OGN, and Bowling With Corpses and Other Tales from Lands Unknown, which was recently nominated for a Bram Stoker Award. Stenbeck, meanwhile, has added to the universe with The Skinless Man.
Uri Tupka and the Devils arrives in stores Nov. 17.
