Dynamite Entertainment is set to release the Ben 10: Creator Files comic book in October, offering fans an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the series.

The press release follows:

Media Release – Hit that Omnitrix and get ready for a special release this October from Dynamite Entertainment and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, with the Ben 10: Creator Files comic book bringing fans behind the scenes of the latest smash hit series!

Following the fabulous fifth issue’s release in September with the debut of Grey Matter and conclusion of Ben’s first encounter with Zombozo, the main series takes a pause ahead of the next arc kicking off in November. To tide fans over and offer something unique, the Man of Action team and series artist Robert Carey alongside expert editor Matt Idelson have teamed up on the ultimate behind the scenes tour on the series so far.

“We wanted to give the Ben 10 readers something really special, a ’thank you’ for the support they’ve shown the series so far,” said Joe Casey. “This Creator Files issue is jam-packed with extra material — including exclusive first looks that we just couldn’t wait to show off!”

With the same format and pricing of a standard entry in the series, the Creator Files shows Ben 10’s fans what it takes to create an issue. A feature breaks down the major stages of comics creation, from the writer’s script, to Carey’s artwork, Ren Spiller’s addition of colors, Taylor Esposito’s lettering, and assembling it all together into the page readers receive.

Features originally presented in the rare and sought-after ashcan will now be shared with all fans, including a special interview with writer Joe Casey as well as a batch of character sketches showcasing Carey’s earliest work on the franchise in preparation for drawing the first issue.

Dynamite is opening the vault and including even more of Carey’s designs and sketches, many of which have never been shown publicly. Previewing upcoming storylines, this will be the exclusive debut of designs for the next classic villain!

The Creator Files will be rounded out with gallery style pinups of some of the stellar variant covers from the series, as well as even more in-continuity ephemera that will delight fans!

Fans can opt for either the Robert Carey or Duncan Rouleau covers for Ben 10: Creator Files, both of which show multiple stages of their artistic process on one of their already iconic covers from the series. Writer Joe Casey will also be signing a limited number of copies available for retailers and fans to order.
