PREVIEW: "Salimba" by Steve Perry and Paul Chadwick

I just stumbled upon this on the internet, and now I hafta have it! There's a paperback dropping next month from a small publisher called About Comics that collects a little-known 80's comic about Salimba, a "jungle woman, fighter, protector, and goddess" who rolls with sabretooth tigers and defends the unspoiled land of Osha-Kamir from monsters, pirates and zombie apes. Did I mention it was by late animation screenwriter Steve Perry (Thundercats) and Eisner Award-winner Paul Chadwick (Concrete)? Well, yeah... it is. Here's some random pages I snagged from the internet

Salimba drops on December 22nd, but apparently, despite the attractiveness of this work (in case you didn't know, both these guys are kind of a big deal in some circles), orders were mad low, so if you want to cop this book, you need to ask your book store or comic shop to order it for you by name, or click here to pre-order it on Amazon (like I did).

holla!
