Dynamite Entertainment is sharing its New York Comic-Con news early with the announcement of two new series and a print line centered on some of its most iconic characters.
Barbarella and the Princess of Barsoom will team up in Barbarella / Dejah Thoris from Leah Williams (Adventure Time Comics, X-Men: Black) and artist Carlos Gomez (Red Sonja). The first issue is in stores in January and features covers by Jen Bartel (Uncanny X-Men), Zach Hsieh (YouTube), Pasquale Qualano (Grimm Fairy Tales), and Tom Feister (Barbarella), as well as a cosplay cover and Authentix Edition blank sketch cover. Mistress of the Dark Elvira will return January for a new four-part miniseries by writer David Avallone (Elvira, Bettie Page) and artist Fran Strukan (Hack/Slash vs. Vampirella).
