Description
The Savage Tales return with an all-new winter special to warm the cockles of readers' wild and untamed hearts!
Savage Tales Winter 2025 Special features three hard-boiled stories packed with two-fisted action and barbaric brutality, written by Dynamite's acclaimed master of pulp DAVID AVALLONE and illustrated by a murderer's row of killer artists:
• EMAN CASALLOS takes on "Mutiny on Mars" starring JOHN CARTER and DEJAH THORIS
• MARIANO BENITEZ-CHAPO finds "The Real Thing" with VAMPIRELLA
• and HAMISH MUNRO-COOK closes the book on CAPTAIN GULLIVAR JONES with "His War Chapter III"!
As a special bonus, this 40-page one-shot also includes a reprint of KURT BUSIEK and BENJAMIN DEWEY's "Seeing Red" from the pages of Red Sonja: Black, White, Red, which finds the She-Devil with a Sword seeking a precious, priceless item in the foreboding Mountains of Night!
Add in a quartet of take-no-prisoners covers by ARTHUR SUYDAM, BJORN BARENDS, JOSEPH MICHAEL LINSNER, and RACHEL HOLLON cosplay, and you've got the perfect package to stave off cabin fever until spring!
