Return of Savage Tales: A Winter Comic Extravaganza
Winter is coming, and with it, the return of "Savage Tales." Esteemed writer David Avallone reemerges with a collection of three thrilling stories in a special oversized issue. Known for his work with "Elvira" and "Bettie Page," Avallone brings action, romance, and nostalgia to this fan-favorite series.
Adventure Beckons with Beloved Characters
Avallone revisits characters dear to his heart. He shares his enthusiasm for writing this trilogy, including longtime favorites like John Carter, Dejah Thoris, Vampirella, and the lesser-known Gullivar Jones. "I’ve adored John and Dejah since my teens," Avallone reveals, adding that Vampirella holds a special place as his first comics creation. Gullivar Jones also returns with a fresh perspective, a character Avallone cherishes from previous "Savage Tales" issues.
Unveiling Thrills and Artistic Mastery
Three distinct narratives promise to captivate readers. "Mutiny on Mars," headlining John Carter and Dejah Thoris, is brought to life through Eman Cassallos’s art. Captain Gullivar Jones continues his adventures in "His War," illustrated by Kubert School graduate Hamish Munro-Cook. Vampirella, penned by Avallone and drawn by Mariano Benitez-Chapo, takes center stage in "The Real Thing."
Adding to this ensemble is a reprinted tale, "Seeing Red," featuring Red Sonja—a collaborative work from Kurt Busiek and Benjamin Dewey.
A Visual Feast for Comic Enthusiasts
The issue showcases a series of stunning covers. Artistry from Arthur Suydam, Bjorn Barends, and Joseph Michael Linsner adorns this collection, with cosplayer Rachel Hollon contributing her unique touch. This compilation is a perfect winter read for any comic enthusiast.
