Vault’s Deathstalker #1 sells out and heads back to print

Posted on April 27, 2024 by Graphic Policy Team

After extremely high demand, Vault Comics’ Deathstalker #1 has sold out at the distributor level. A second printing is being rushed back to press and will hit store shelves alongside Deathstalker #2 on May 29th, 2024. The second printing will feature a new colorway of the immensely popular Nathan Gooden cover for issue #1.

Presented by rock legend Slash, and published in partnership with, Shout! Studios and Raven Banner Entertainment, Vault’s Deathsalker comic series is an adaptation of the beloved cult classic sword-and-sorcery movie franchise, Deathstalker. The comic is based on a story by writer, director, and legendary creature effects artist Steven Kostanski, and reunites the team from Vault’s hit weird western series, West of Sundown, writer Tim Seeley, artist Jim Terry, and colorist Kurt Michael Russell.

Deathstalker issue #1 hits store shelves on April 24th, 2024. The debut issue features a line of variant covers from an incredible lineup of artists including the legendary original Deathstalker movie poster artist Boris Vallejo, Barbaric co-creator Nathan Gooden, series artist Jim Terry, Conor Boyle, Patrick Gañas, Angela Wu, and more.

The cult-classic warrior-hero Deathstalker bursts into the comics scene from an all-star lineup of creators including Slash (Guns N’ Roses) and writer-director-creature-FX-wizard Steven Kostanski (Psycho Goreman, The Void)!

Deathstalker finds himself once again caught between forces larger than himself-a virgin worshiping cult, a sorcerer hell-bent on saving the world through mad science, and the pissed-off army of the Abraxeon kingdom…not to mention his ex-lover, Princess Evie. Monsters, magic, and mayhem abound…can’t a guy just swing his sword anymore?
