"Revered for his fun-filled fables of Elvira Mistress of the Dark, Bettie Page, and more, writer David Avallone returns for another batch of tales tapping into his pulp pedigree. The extra-length 40-pager is packed with four fabulous, hard-hitting chapters featuring a mix of the top Women of Dynamite and classics of the pulp era. He's joined by a trio of artists flexing their talents in these pulse-pounding shorts. Recent The Kubert School graduate Mariano Benitez-Chapo has made it a tradition to connect with Avallone in these semi-annual specials. Here he handles two tales, continuing the "His War" story arc for Captain Gullivar Jones, as well as taking on the Daughter of Drakulon. Fans will not want to miss the haunting fable of "Vampirella Noir." Powerhouse illustrator Pasquale Qualano pumps his artistry into a showcase of the She-Devil With a Sword in "Red Sonja: The Exile." Last but certainly not least, the grin-forcing stylings of Sebastián Píriz wraps up one of Avallone's new pulp adventures with "The Last Allan Quatermain Story."
