Vault Comics announced Deathstalker, an adaptation of the sword-and-sorcery movie franchise, is getting a print release in March 2024.
Based on a story by writer, director, and creature effects artist Steven Kostanski, and presented by Slash of Guns-n-Roses, Tim Seeley and Jim Terry will bring the comic to life.
“I’m excited to be kicking off a new era of Deathstalker,” said Slash. “From Tim Seeley, artist Jim Terry, writer-director-creature FX-wizard Steven Kostanski, and myself, our Deathstalker is a reimagining of that fine specimen of 80s sword and sorcery. With fantasy, you get a little of everything: horror, magic, sex, thrills, blood, guts, swords and weirdness. You know—all those things you can’t look away from. And that’s what we’re bringing. So—please—if you share my love of all things wicked, check it out!”
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?
Deathstalker #1 arrives in March 2024.
