Aug 2nd 2023
The animated world of Fire and Ice is officially getting a new adaptation with Dynamite Comics, with the Frank Frazetta and Ralph Bakshi animated fantasy film being brought to life on the pages for the first time ever. Fables creator Bill Willingham and artist Leonardo Manco are teaming up for a new prequel series set in the world of Fire and Ice.
The new series will dive into the Frazetta and Bakshi classic, telling the story of what happened before fire and ice spread and nearly destroyed the world. The comic will explore what happened before Princess Teegra met the warrior Larn and dive into a world that’s ripe for further exploration. And not only is Fire and Ice launching a new chapter in the iconic story, but will feature top-tier talent when it comes to artists providing covers for the comic.
There are over 20 variant covers available for Fire and Ice #1. Some of the standout covers include the main cover from legend Bill Sienkiewicz in the artist's iconic style. Manco draws a variant featuring the characters from the series. Meanwhile, Frazetta’s iconic cover for the Fire and Ice animated film is available as a variant. There are several incentive variants ranging from 1:10, 1:15, 1:50, to 1:100 from artists like Sienkiewicz, Mahmud A. Asrar, and Francesco Francavilla. Additionally, CaptCan Comics has Josh Burns’ sultry cover for the issue available for order on our website.
A FANTASY CLASSIC RETURNS TO LIFE WITH AN ALL-NEW PREQUEL SERIES! More than four decades ago, two iconic creators came together to bring to the silver screen an amazing new world of magic and adventure. In their classic animated film Fire and Ice, legendary artist FRANK FRAZETTA and famed director RALPH BAKSHI crafted a unique vision of beauty and danger, of good versus evil, all cast against a hypnotic backdrop of savage prehistoric splendor. Now, at long last, this timeless vision is expanding into comics with the first new story to revisit Frazetta and Bakshi's remarkable realm since 1982! Before the fire waned and the ice spread across the world...before Teegra met Larn...before everything you know about the unforgettable animated movie came to be, there were the before times - times when evil might still be blunted, times when innocence was not yet lost. In Fire and Ice #1, acclaimed comics writer BILL WILLINGHAM (Fables, Legenderry) joins forces with artist LEONARDO MANCO (Hellstorm: Prince of Lies, Blaze of Glory) - making his triumphant return to comics - and a new legend is about to be born!
