DYNAMITE ENTERTAINMENT PARTNERS WITH PLAYBOY FOR
EXCLUSIVE BETTIE PAGE COMIC ISSUE 

The Six-Page Exclusive Will Appear in Playboy's November/December 2017 Issue 

October 18, 2017, Mt. Laurel, NJ:  Dynamite Entertainment is thrilled to announce their recent collaboration with Playboy magazine, to provide an exclusive 6-page issue of their Bettie Page series, which will appear in Playboy's November/December 2017 issue! Written by David Avallone (Drawing Blood, Doc Savage: Ring of Fire), with art by industry legend Joseph Michael Linsner (Dawn, Harley Quinn, Vampirella), this exciting issue hits stands October 31, 2017!

Bettie Page was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, and moved to New York City to pursue work as an actress during the 1950s, where she found work as a pin-up model, and posed for dozens of the top photographers of the time. Page was selected as "Miss January" in 1955, becoming one of the earliest Playmates of the Month for Playboy magazine. Playboy founder Hugh Hefner was known to think of Bettie Page as a remarkable lady and iconic figure in pop culture. Page has since proven a staple in comics, dating back to her debut in the 1980's when Dave Stevens based the Rocketeer's girlfriend "Betty"on the iconic leading lady.

"Bettie perfectly embodies Hugh Hefner's original stated mission for the magazine; sex is not dirty or shameful, it's as wholesome as the girl next door," says writer David Avallone. "Given the long history of incredible writers who've been published by Playboy, I'm thrilled and humbled to find myself in those same pages."

"Bettie Page has proven to be an iconic role model well ahead of her time," says Janie Mackenzie, Marketing and Public Relations Coordinator for Dynamite Entertainment. "With her ambition, drive, and strength, she proved what women were truly capable of in an era when most didn't have the option to plot their own course in the world." 

"We've been so honored to publish our recent Bettie Page series to such overwhelmingly positive reviews," says Nick Barrucci, CEO and Publisher of Dynamite Entertainment. "Writer David Avallone simply nails the perfect tone, and artist Joseph Michael Linsner has brought his uncanny ability to capture the spirit and beauty of his characters to this new exclusive issue. It's exciting to see Ms. Page brought back to the pages where she first made her name." 

Playboy's November/December 2017 issue is available for download at Playboy.com, and hits newsstands nationwide on October 31, 2017.

October 3, 2017, Mt.

The smash-hit series saw more than 100 episodes, and became a cult hit for decades to come thanks to subsequent syndication and DVD distribution deals. 

"We could not be more excited to have the opportunity to work with the team at Sony Pictures Television, the premier name in television programming for decades," says Nick Barrucci, CEO and Publisher for Dynamite Entertainment. "The team at Dynamite all grew up watching the adventures of these strong female role-models, and we're proud to present the upcoming Charlie's Angels comic book series to an entirely new generation of fans!"

WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE!
THE KING AND QUEEN UNITE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN
DYNAMITE ENTERTAINMENT'S LORDS OF THE JUNGLE

JANUARY 22, 2016, MT. LAUREL, NJ: Edgar Rice Burroughs' original jungle hero Tarzan joins the comic industry's first leading lady, Sheena, for the first time ever! Dynamite Entertainment, known for bold, modern interpretations of classic pulp characters, bring together wilderness royalty in Lords of the Jungle, a thrilling miniseries slated to debut on March 16, 2016. Written by Corinna Bechko (Aliens/Vampirella, Star Wars: Legacy, Planet of the Apes) with interior art by Roberto Castro, Lords of the Jungle features two covers for its first issue, by series artist Castro and industry legend Alex Ross respectively.

Tarzan has long been the protector of his jungle stronghold, but this time the fight has to be taken to his enemy's territory, deep in the heart of London. Half a world away and nearly a century later, Sheena is battling foes of her own when she is mysteriously swept through time and space to 1930's Africa, leaving her own land unprotected. Will these two Lords of the Jungle find enough common ground to join forces? Or will the resulting culture clash lead to mutual destruction?

"When writing characters like these, it's always best to be mindful of their history. If they don't feel like the same people, what's the point? The flip side of that is remembering that they need to feel fresh and relevant," says zoologist-turned-comics writer Corinna Bechko. "The Sheena we're introducing here is a bit younger than some of the iterations there have been over the years, but she can definitely take care of herself. She's not someone you'd want to be on the wrong side of in a fight."

Comic book fans are encouraged to reserve copies of Lords of the Jungle with their local comic book retailers. The first-ever Tarzan / Sheena crossover will also be available for individual customer purchase through digital platforms courtesy of Comixology, Dynamite Digital, iVerse, and Dark Horse Digital.

Series: Grimm
Writers: David Greenwalt, Jim Kouf, Marc Gaffen, Kyle Mcvey
Illustrator: Jose Malaga
Paperback: 112 pages
Publisher: Dynamite Entertainment
Release Date: November 19, 2013
Language: English
ISBN-10: 1606904507

Poor Homicide Detective and Grimm Nick Burkhardt, cant catch a break, or even a sandwich without onions. He's off to investigate a broken up wedding where both the bride and groom were kidnapped by some species purists, the PWO or Pure World Order which to me sounds like some New World Order wrestling rejects, which may be the easiest part of his day.

The mother he thought was dead, Kelly, has resurfaced, not because of a deep seated love of her child, but because she's hunted by some Verrat soldiers trying to steal the Coins of Zakynthos that she's intent on destroying. After Kelly falls into the wrong hands, its up to Nick, Hank and Monroe to journey to Europe and save the day. But along the way there will be plenty of dark secrets revealed, and promises of death for one.

New readers may have a hard time if they aren't show watchers and aren't familiar with the mythology. There is a lot to take in, though there is some pausing to explain some of the backstory it can be a lot for newcomers to take in,  but for those that do watch the show this is a must have! It's a never-before-told story, set in the world of the acclaimed NBC series, Grimm, written by the show creators themselves. Fast paced, and well written, this is a perfect companion piece.

New York Comic Con kicks off with news of an all-new Matt Wagner series ‘The Shadow vs. Grendel!’

NEW YORK, NY, OCTOBER 7–Days before the doors open on one of the year’s largest events in pop culture, Dark Horse Comics and Dynamite Entertainment announce the first in a series of upcoming crossovers. Matt Wagner will write and draw an all-new Grendel story steeped in the pulp-noir world of The Shadow!

The Shadow is one of the most renowned and enduring pop-culture creations of all time, a multi-media character that established the original archetype of the modern super-hero.  Grendel, Matt Wagner’s epic saga of dark aggression, has been a trailblazing powerhouse of independent comics for over thirty years and, for many fans, the elegant and deadly Hunter Rose is the quintessential version of the character.  Combined, these legendary and iconic characters represent over a century of publishing history!

Best-selling author Hunter Rose is secretly the masked assassin and criminal overlord known only as Grendel. When an arcane artifact comes into his possession, Grendel finds himself thrust into a world for which he seems destined, where style and violence intersect to form a dazzling golden age.  He will soon discover that this New York also has a fearsome protector—a dark and mysterious avenger whose name is spoken in hushed whispers, The Shadow!

“Ever since the smash success of my two previous crossover events (with Batman), I’ve had many offers over the years to see Grendel cross blades with a varied host of other characters,” comments Grendel creator, Matt Wagner. “But none of those opportunities ever excited me as much as this possibility.  I’ve been a huge fan of The Shadow for many, many years and my love of the character finally saw fruition when I got the chance to literally re-define his origins by writing  The Shadow: Year One for Dynamite. To have the chance to both write and draw The Shadow facing my own creation is something of a dream come true! It's also adds yet another instant classic to my long legacy of Grendel projects with Dark Horse Comics.”

“I'm looking forward to this project for many reasons, not the least of which is Matt Wagner's return as both writer and artist of Grendel” said Dark Horse president and publisher, Mike Richardson. “The fact that I share Matt's enthusiasm for one of the greatest fictional characters of all time, The Shadow, makes it all the more exciting. Dark Horse and Dynamite are proud to announce this great comic series from one of comics' premier creators.”

“I’ve known and been a fan of Matt’s since Grendel first appeared in the early ‘80’s, and one of the first prestige comics I bought was the Terminator by Matt with James Robinson.  Matt’s an incredible story teller and has written three series for Dynamite, including The Shadow: Year One” said Dynamite publisher, Nick Barucci. “When the idea for a Grendel/Shadow cross-over was suggested, and Matt stated that he would write it AND illustrate the series in a Prestige format, let’s just say that you can’t quantify the excitement in our offices.  This is such an incredible series, and the first of more projects that Dynamite and Dark Horse are announcing.”

This exciting new three issue series will be released in three 48 page prestige format issues in 2014! Look for more details in the months to come, and check out this exclusive interview onComic Book Resources!
