Fire and Ice's Mysterious Darkwolf
Stars in Series by Dan Panosian This Summer! | 
April 16, Mt. Laurel, NJ: The brutal sword and sorcery mythos of Fire and Ice brings even more exciting comics action this summer with a brand-new series turning the spotlight to the fierce and mysterious Darkwolf, with creators Dan Panosian and Andrey Lunatik at the helm!
Born from the immortal imagination of master fantasy illustrator and painter Frank Frazetta and genius animation innovator Ralph Bakshi, the character of Darkwolf is one of the most memorable and signature parts of their historic team-up for Fire and Ice. The muscled warrior hides his true identity behind an iconic mask. Eventually in the thick of the film's plot he crosses paths with Larn and Teegra, and fells Nekron by his own hands.
In this new series by Dan "Urban Barbarian" Panosian, readers will get to know — but not too much — the legendary Darkwolf before those events. It all begins when a mother and her twins flee the warlock who sired them. His lackeys are sent out to pursue them, at least until a fabled warrior descends from the mountains to unleash hell upon them. But saving them is only the beginning.
"Darkwolf is pure Frank Frazetta in its most raw and unfiltered form," said writer Dan Panosian. "Wild, savage and let loose upon a world as terrifying as he is!”
Panosian is joined by artist Andrey Lunatik, making his mainstream debut here. He brings his energetic ink-slinging style that perfectly matches the pulse-pounding adventures and combat of Darkwolf.
The legend of Darkwolf begins here. It's violent, mythic, and unrelenting. This is a fierce, visceral rebirth of a true barbarian force of nature. Readers will not want to miss this exhilarating epic!
With a lineage including Frazetta and Bakshi, every Fire and Ice comic has a tall task to live up to with not only the interior art but also covers. Darkwolf is displayed in all his ferocious glory by Panosian himself, as well as Stjepan Šejic, Joe Jusko, Stuart Sayger, and Cary Nord. Both Jusko and Nord are legends within barbarian comics, and are complemented with more perfect fits for the genre.
Fire and Ice: Darkwolf adds to the growing lore for the franchise, with a flagship prequel comic, and specials focused on Teegra and Nekron to date, from creators including Bill Willigham, Leonardo Manco, Gabriele di Caro,
Geof Isherwood, and Frank Frazetta's granddaughter Sara!
