Savage Tales Slashes Into a New Giant-Sized Special!

Posted on by

Fans of savage action, powerful pulp, and Dynamite‘s biggest characters are getting another treat this April, as the publisher announces Giant-Sized Savage Tales.

Revered for his fun-filled fables of Elvira Mistress of the Dark, Bettie Page, and more, writer David Avallone returns for another batch of tales tapping into his pulp pedigree. The extra length 40-pager is packed with four fabulous hard-hitting chapters featuring a mix of the top Women of Dynamite and classics of the pulp era. He’s joined by a trio of artists flexing their talents in these pulse-pounding shorts.

Recent The Kubert School graduate Mariano Benitez-Chapo has made it a tradition to connect with Avallone in these semi-annual specials. Here he handles two tales, continuing the “His War” story arc for Captain Gullivar Jones, as well as taking on the Daughter of Drakulon. Fans will not want to miss the haunting fable of “Vampirella Noir.”

Powerhouse illustrator Pasquale Qualano pumps his artistry into a showcase of the She-Devil With a Sword in “Red Sonja: The Exile.”

Last but certainly not least, the grin-forcing stylings of Sebastián Píriz wraps up one of Avallone’s new pulp adventures with “The Last Allan Quatermain Story.”

To celebrate this Savage spring special, a crop of cool covers is a necessity and Dynamite’s assembled team came through! Bjorn Barends pulls double duty here with covers in his signature style featuring both Red Sonja and Vampirella. Then model Ivy Cosplay slips into the costumes of both characters for solo shots as well as through the power of editing a team-up shot! 

Collectors looking to level up their experience with this special release can opt for the exciting mystery blind bag! This bag will contain three limited edition variants of the issue, selected randomly from a range of covers exclusive to the offering.
