Following their successful Kickstarter campaign, Vault Comics has announced a Deathstalker comic series for next year.
Presented by Guns’N’Roses guitarist Slash and based on a story by Steven Kostanski, Deathstalker will feature the work of writer Tim Seeley (Hack/Slash, Money Shot), artist Jim Terry (Come Home, Indio), and colorist Kurt Michael Russell (Money Shot).
“Some went to church, some had friends, I had the video store,” said Terry. “Being young at the birth of the VHS explosion was magic, and it felt like a time when folks were telling incredibly imaginative stories with limited resources – that charm and creativity would be hard to recreate today but it’s a thrill to bask in that energy with Deathstalker. I’m already enjoying myself, and very much looking forward to wandering in a world I’m very familiar with and making something that we hope will be an absolute blast to read. Thanks to all the folks involved and to my pal Tim Seeley for inviting me along to hang out in this universe for a while.”
Here’s a look at a couple of the variant covers for the first issue, by Conor Boyle and Jim Terry:
