Savage Tales Returns With More Brutal Adventures!

An exciting recurring tradition for fans of action-packed genre tales in comics and the pulp traditions, Dynamite has announced another Savage Tales release this February.

Fan-favorite scribe and pulp fiction mastermind David Avallone is back for the latest winter time gift for readers, contributing all three new original stories within this special oversized issue featuring cardstock covers. He’s joined by a trio of rising star artists, two of which are recent graduates from the prestigious Kubert School for comics illustration.

One of the biggest power couples of pulp have an untold tale revealed, as Avallone pens “Mutiny on Mars” starring John Carter and Dejah Thoris. To draw the Barsoom-trekking adventure, Eman Casallos comes in with his honed skills.

An underrated and favorite pulp figure, Captain Gullivar Jones’ next hotly anticipated tale is shown in “His War” drawn by Kubert graduate Hamish Munro-Cook

Last but certainly not least, one of Dynamite’s biggest heroines gets the spotlight, as Vampirella’s “The Real Thing” is chronicled by Avallone and Mariano Benitez-Chapo, also a Kubie rising through the ranks.

It doesn’t end there though, as those three are topped off with a special bonus reprinting the “Seeing Red” story starring Red Sonja by Kurt Busiek and Benjamin Dewey, originally seen in the pages of fellow anthology Red Sonja: Black, White, Red. 

With the pages full of action, romance, and fearsome foes, such a book packed with classic reading mandates a crop of jaw-dropping covers in the pulp painting and illustration tradition. The quartet of take-no-prisoners covers are contributed by Arthur Suydam, Bjorn Barends, Joseph Michael Linsner, and cosplayer Rachel Hollon. It’s all the perfect package to stave off cabin fever as fans enter the throes of winter.

Savage Tales Are Back To Keep Fans Warm This Winter!

Dynamite has announced Savage Tales: Winter Special featuring more thrilling tales of Dynamite’s biggest stars as well as legends of the pulps.

This December’s special will feature two up-and-coming artists and graduates of the prestigious Kubert School, Mariano Benitez Chapo and Hamish Munro-Cook. They’ll be teaming up with fan-favorite writers Scott Bryan Wilson and David Avallone for two of the four tales in this action packed new one-shot that will be debuting with covers by Arthur Suydam, Liam Sharp, and Rafael Kayanan.

Savage Tales is back with four tales of brutality, thrills and spills. The party starts with “Devil Juice” by Wilson and artist Max Fuchs as Vampirella’s sister Draculina wants revenge on an enemy demon but has to go through a wall of body builders first. Wilson then teams with Benitez Chapo for “Crypt Junkies” as Vampirella accompanies a TV crew when they open a 1,000-year-old sarcophagus… with bloody results. Avallone and Munro-Cook bring us a new story of Captain Gulliver Jones and the savage world of Mars in “His War Chapter II.” Then Avallone and artist Eman Casallos take us to the dying world of Barsoom for more adventures with John Carter, Warlord of Mars and his mate Dejah Thoris.
