Black Dynamite Returns

Do you remember Black Dynamite? You should remember it because of its cultural significance for nothing else. Ape Entertainment has partnered with Ars Nova to release a one-shot, 48 pager called Black Dynamite: Slave Island. The work boasts Black Dynamite with his fists of fury in an attempt to shut down a secret island with The Man playing by 1850s rules. It's based on a story by Michael Jai White, Byron Minns and Scott Sanders and is written by Brian Ash, inks by Jun Lofamia and is due in stores April 2011.

“We pick right up where the movie left off and continue with the same over the top action in the one-shot,” explained Brent E. Erwin, COO of Ape Entertainment. “When you are dealing with the quintessential badass, tough-as-nails hero, why would you change a thing?”

"SLAVE ISLAND is a blacktastic journey into a dynamite new world,” says the film’s director, Scott Sanders. “Ash and LoFamia created a spot-on recreation of the comics I loved as a kid, with an added Black Dynamite twist!”
