Sac Comic-Con has teamed with Dynamite and guest artist Stuart Sayger to create a variant cover for Savage Tales Winter 2025 SP #1. A limited number of copies will be available for sale at Sac Comic-Con 2025 for $10.
The Savage Tales return with an all-new winter special to warm the cockles of readers’ wild and untamed hearts!
Savage Tales Winter 2025 Special features three hard-boiled stories packed with two-fisted action and barbaric brutality, written by Dynamite’s acclaimed master of pulp DAVID AVALLONE and illustrated by a murderer’s row of killer artists:
• EMAN CASALLOS takes on “Mutiny on Mars” starring JOHN CARTER and DEJAH THORIS
• MARIANO BENITEZ-CHAPO finds “The Real Thing” with VAMPIRELLA
• and HAMISH MUNRO-COOK closes the book on CAPTAIN GULLIVAR JONES with “His War Chapter III”!
As a special bonus, this 40-page one-shot also includes a reprint of KURT BUSIEK and BENJAMIN DEWEY’s “Seeing Red” from the pages of Red Sonja: Black, White, Red, which finds the She-Devil with a Sword seeking a precious, priceless item in the foreboding Mountains of Night!
CHRISTOPHER SCHENCK
CHRISTOPHER SCHENCK grew up in a small town north of San Francisco, the son of pot- smoking hippies and liberal utopian dreamers. His intensely chaotic and unorthodox childhood was mollified by reading Conan and Silver Surfer comics at all hours in his treehouse.
Determined to escape and live on solid ground, he made a career as a comic book penciller, enrolling in a school that had no comic book curriculum or faculty. After school he landed some small jobs in the burgeoning black and white boom of the late 1980s which led to more work for DC Comics and Dark Horse. His first regular gig was as penciller on Tarzan monthly for Dark Horse Comics.
Never one to sit still, he kept looking for new opportunities and new clients. The video game industry was just beginning, and he picked up jobs on games and animated TV shows. Since that time Christopher has worked on Batman Beyond, The Lord of the Rings, Stretch Armstrong, Monster Match, DC Super Hero Girls, G.I. Joe, Secret Saturdays, James Bond, Ultimate Spider-Man, and too many more to list here.
Christopher was a teacher for more than twenty years and Director of the School of Game Design at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, where he developed a reputation as a top draughtsman and storyteller. He currently lives in Northern California with his cats and his much smarter wife.
