Dynamite Entertainment and IDW Publishing have announced the April launch of Danger Girl and the Army of Darkness #1. Written by Danger Girl co-creator Andy Hartnell with interior art by Chris Bolson (Red Sonja) and covers by Danger Girl co-creator J. Scott Campbell, the mini-series features Abbey Chase, the world’s most daring adventuress, on a quest to recover the elusive Book of the Dead, and this time she has help in the form of Ash—Ashley J. Williams, the protagonist of the Evil Dead film series as well as the Army of Darkness comics.

 

Dynamite’s Nick Barucci noted that the new series represents a “twofer” for comic book fans since it involves the re-launching of both the Army of Darkness and Danger Girl series: “Fans that have been clamoring for Army of Darkness to return won't need to wait any longer, and this time Ash has company,  We're extremely excited to have Ash's ongoing series re-launch and also be J. Scott Campbell's and Andy Hartnell re-introduction of Danger Girl to the comics market.”

 

In addition to a cover from original Danger Girl creator J. Scott Campbell, the first issue will feature covers by Paul Renaud and Nick Bradshaw.
