Slash (Guns N’ Roses) has shared a new trailer for his “Deathstalker” comic book. The guitarist is working on the effort with producer Roger Corman, writer Tim Seeley, and artist Jim Terry. You can donate to their Kickstarter HERE. A deluxe, oversized hardcover edition of the comic, single-issue comic books, and trade paperbacks will be available.
Slash commented:
“I’m excited to be kicking off a new era of ‘Deathstalker.’ 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!”
Damian Wassel, CEO of Vault Comics, added:
“We obviously adore sword and sorcery at Vault. So, when Slash approached us with the opportunity to relaunch a cult classic of the genre together with Steven Kostanski, and our friends at Shout! and Raven Banner, we couldn’t say no. The whole idea of this project is to balance nostalgia for the so-bad-it’s-good fantasy filmmaking of the 1980s with the storytelling sensibilities of our time. There’s no one we could trust more to turn that into a wickedly hilarious, fantastically epic comic than Tim Seeley and Jim Terry.”
