Collection: Lady Savage by Gary Petras
A tragic death begins a chain of events that will shock the pristine and peaceful
Eden-like jungle of Lady Savage. From the depths of tragedy rises a child born of the wild, to become a teen untamed, and then a woman of remarkable strength, bravery and spirit. A guardian filled with the courage to become one with nature as well as a hero for all under the knife of those who would seek death and destruction in her jungle Paradise. A six issue series that follows an arc of vengeance.
One event: A mother's selfless act of heroism, leads to an orphaned child growing up wild, free and to fend for herself until she is kidnapped by missionaries and ripped from her world to be tamed in so- called civilization. Beaten, abused but never to surrender she is saved by another selfless act of a powerful and wealthy woman. The child to teen and to woman, who falls in love and is set to marry, but always in her mind is the tragic death of her mother. She must return to the jungle to seek vengeance of the prehistoric beast that brought about the first link of tragedy in the chain of events. From runaway bride to the wild and untamed woman of the jungle Lady Savage returns home. The series takes us from the untamed wilderness to the cold concrete jungles of civilization, and to a per-historic world untouched by time. Where both the past and the present seek retribution and revenge, and characters from an army of Amazons, to a half-human/half-ape, and vengeful and deadly humans all seek the wild woman who has touched their own lives with tragedy and death. All this and a surprise ending in issue six that no one will see coming but will change the life of Lady Savage forever, and bring a new beginning to this wonderful and action-filled comic book series.
