This Comic Series Is Gorgeous. You'd Never Know AI Drew the Whole Thing

You might expect a comic book series featuring art generated entirely by artificial intelligence to be full of surreal images that have you tilting your head trying to grasp what kind of sense-shifting madness you're looking at. Not so with the images in The Bestiary Chronicles, a free, three-part comics series from Campfire Entertainment, a New York-based production house focused on creative storytelling. In The Lesson, a teacher tells students about the monsters that ruined their planet. The team behind the comic used the phrase "Hitchcock Blonde" to describe the story's heroine to AI art-generation tool Midjourney, "and more often than not she came out looking like Grace Kelly," says writer Steve Coulson. The visuals in the trilogy -- believed to be the first comics series made with AI-assisted art -- are stunning.
