Comic Book Sneak Peek – Thundarr the Barbarian #1
Thundarr the Barbarian is making a comeback this week thanks to Dynamite Entertainment, which is launching a new comic series inspired by the 80s Saturday morning cartoon; take a look at the first issue with the official preview below…
“ARIEL! OOKLA! RIDE!!! A runaway planet plunged between the Earth and the Moon, causing cosmic destruction and leading to the downfall of mankind’s proud civilizations! Two thousand years later, the planet is almost unrecognizable — a brutal and savage land where both sorcery and super-science rule over the helpless populace. Now, from among them, a man is rising to break free from the chains that have held him down. With his loyal friends, Ariel and Ookla the Mok, he has devoted his life — along with the power of his mystical blade, the Sunsword — to freeing his world from evil forces. He is Thundarr, the Barbarian, and his journey begins here!
Visionary comic writer JASON AARON (Thor, Avengers, Conan) and renowned artist KEWBER BAAL (Vampirella, James Bond) are returning to the nostalgic era of Saturday morning television in the Dynamite launch of Thundarr the Barbarian, delivering new narratives about the origins of the heroic trio and their ongoing fight against the malevolent powers that rule their bizarre new world!
This inaugural issue features striking covers from MICHAEL CHO, FRANCESCO MATTINA, BJORN BARENDS, JOSEPH MICHAEL LINSNER, and ROB LIEFELD, and includes a special MYSTERY BLIND BAG VARIANT! The Blind Bag contains one limited edition of this landmark first issue, chosen randomly from a selection of variant covers exclusive to this release. Among these options are a brand new original cover by DAN PANOSIAN, line art versions, foil variants, and colored blanks.
Thundarr the Barbarian #1 hits the shelves on February 4th, retailing for $4.99.
