"Savage Bitch" is a fantasy adventure graphic novel and was originally published in serialised form in Picture magazine by Australian Consolidated Press (ACP) between 1995 and 1997, as a 'Jungle Girls' adventure like no other; controversial, challenging and bizarre!
"Savage Bitch" is an excellent showcase of all of the elements that S.C.A.R. (Steve Carter and Antoinette Rydyr) are famous for: feisty amazons, fascinating alien worlds and freakish monsters. Not for the easily offended or faint-hearted...
This vibrant and colourful presentation contains two complete thrilling adventures along with stunning new art and pin-ups.
"Land of the Buku Buku" (45 pages): On becoming a warrioress Savage Bitch embarks on her first adventure with a small hunting party into an unknown region where they encounter a brutal tribe of subhuman amazons.
"The Fury of Blood Bitch" (47 pages): After being cast out of their clan during a violent dispute, Savage Bitch and five tribeswomen are forced to fend for themselves in a hostile wilderness full of monstrous predators.
Includes an entertaining foreword by the legendary Stephen R. Bissette (Swamp Thing, Tyrant, Taboo), American artist, editor and publisher of the horror genre; and special guest spot by celebrated Aussie creator and artist Dave Heinrich (The Phantom: Ghost Who Walks).
