Dynamite Entertainment has announced that Savage Tales Winter Special 2025 will hit comic book shops in February 2025.
The anthology special will feature three all-new tales featuring Vampirella, Dejah Thoris and Gullivar Jones from writer David Avallone and artists Eman Casallos, Hamish Munro-Cook and Mariano Benitez-Chapo, along with the bonus Red Sonja story ‘Seeing Red’ from Kurt Busiek and Benjamin Dewey, which was originally published in Red Sonja: Black, White, Red.
“This was a great opportunity for me to go back to a trio of characters I’ve always enjoyed writing,” said Avallone. “I’ve been a fan of John Carter and Dejah since discovering them in my early teens. Vampirella was the first comics character I ever wrote, and I’ll always have a special affection for her. Finally, Dynamite gave me a chance to imagine a new future for Gullivar Jones in previous issues of Savage Tales, and I continue that story here.”
Savage Tales Winter Special 2025 is set for release in February 2025.
