Image Comics has announced that they will be publishing a comic book based on Frank Frazetta’s infamous painting, “The Death Dealer.”

The first issue of “The Death Dealer” will be available this April. It will be written by Joshua Ortega and art will be by Nat Jones and Jay Fotos.

“The Death Dealer is a walking legend and this series captures that perfectly,” says Image Comics’ Executive Director Eric Stephenson. “We were blown away by Nat, Joshua and Jay’s passion for the project. Nat Jones in particular is taking his art to another level. This guy is a superstar.”

FRANK FRAZETTA’S DEATH DEALER is the story of two warring kingdoms and a mythical order that seeks peace between them. Nine hundred years ago, the land of Iparsia was ravaged by war between the kingdoms of Oro and Edani. As battles raged out of control, a black rider beganto appear laying waste to both sides of the conflict, killing the
greatest warriors as easily as the untrained combatants. This unconquerable rider was known as the Death Dealer. The kings of Oro and Edani recognized that if they did not end this war, the black rider would destroy them all. A treaty was signed in blood and the
Death Dealer disappeared into the primeval forest.

Legend says that as long as Oro and Edani are at peace, the black rider will sleep. However, after ages of peace, the spectre of war has raised its bloody head once again, and the Death Dealer will not be far behind.
