After "Spider-Man", Wieringo's next major project was at Image Comics, where he reteamed with Dezago on their creator-owned fantasy series "Tellos". The comic, a coming-of-age adventure set in a magical, piratical world, ran 10 issues (May 1999–November 2000). The last three issues were released by Gorilla Comics, a short-lived Image imprint co-founded by Wieringo and several other creators in 2000. Following the demise of the series, Wieringo also penciled one 13–page story in a post-series one-shot, "Tellos: Maiden Voyage" #1 (March 2001).
