Dynamite Entertainment has announced Savage Tales #1 and Raise the Dead #1 have both sold out. The company has no plans to reprint either issue, but I would check with your local shop to see if there are any copies left.

In a prepared press release Dynamite stated, “Once again, we would like to send our appreciation to the fans and retailers for the support and dedication they have shown for Dynamite. We do our best to provide a quality product in the most fun and interactive way possible, always keeping the fans and retailers in mind through our various contests and message boards. Of course, we also have to send a great big thank you to the creative teams involved with making Savage Tales and Raise the Dead successes. The creative teams for both titles, the writers, artists, colorists and cover artists, really came together to produce over the top stories with “dynamite” artwork!”

Savage Tales is a new anthology series from Dynamite featuring a rotating cast of characters from the savage and brutal worlds of Red Sonja and the Hunter, Cthulhu and the Old Ones, Atlantis and more-all by an array of the industries top creators.

Raise The Dead is an all-new original horror series from writers Leah Moore and John Reppion with art by Dynamite’s latest up and coming artistic sensation Hugo Petrus! The story is a fast paced tale that hits the ground running in a grim world on the brink of being overrun by the living dead. Each issue of Raise the Dead is available with horrific covers by Arthur Suydam and Sean Phillips, both of Marvel Zombie fame!

She Devil Gets Poster

Friday, April 13th, 2007--by Stephen Schleicher

Fans have really reacted in a positive manner over the Arthur Suydam cover to Savage Tales #1. You know, this one…

SavageTales1SuydamPosterBIG.jpg

It is such a great cover that Dynamite Entertainment will be releasing an 18 x 24 inch poster this July.

“When I was working on this cover, I wanted to capture a moment of the calm following the storm. It’s like ‘what’s this pretty flower doing in the middle of this barren scene?’ What immediately sprung to mind was to create a painting that felt like Maxfield Parrish meets Robert E. Howard,” said Suydam.

While I like the idea of comic cover posters, this one is so amazing, I would much rather see it as a life size poster. I can imagine the fanboy reaction if such a thing were allowed.

The poster will sell for $7.99.

I picked up issue #1 of Savage Tales as part of my weekly items, and found it pretty impressive. Anthology books seem to work for me and keep me interested in coming back for more. Last week Dynamite Entertainment released information about Savage Tales #2 coming in May.

Issue #2 features the conclusion of a special Red Sonja story from Ron Marz and Adriano Batista! Savage Tales #2 also features:

“Battle for Atlantis” Part Two from writers Leah Moore and John Reppion with artists Pablo Marcos and Stjepan Sejic: The world around the Atlanteans is changing and growing ever more savage and brutal, can the majestic state find its way in this harsh new world?

The Hunter Part Two — from the pages of Red Sonja — from writers Luke Lieberman and Michael Avon Oeming with artist Kevin Sharpe: The Hunter finds a new ally in his quest to avenge the death of his master - the Borat Na-Fori — and seek the ultimate revenge on Kulan Gath!

Cthulhu and The Old Ones by Mike (Marvel’s ZOMBIE) Raict and artist Pere Perez: Continuing the tale of the stranded Cthulhu as a desperate band of islanders attempts to stave off his ever-growing madness!

Three covers will also accompany issue 2, and you can see them after the jump.
