Dynamite Entertainment and IDW Publishing are partnering for “Army of Darkness/Bubba Ho-Tep,” a crossover that will bring together a pair of Bruce Campbell characters from cult classic films (and their respective comic properties). Scott Duvall (“Narcopolis: Continuum”) and Vincenzo Federici (“Pathfinder: Spiral of Bones”) will join Ash Williams and Elvis Presley for the first time in this story, where “Ash embarks on a soul-searching road trip to Texas on a hunch that Elvis Presley may still be alive and kicking (and supposedly vanquished a mummy)! What follows is a series of universe-spanning events that involve an Elvis jumpsuit with special time-travel abilities, a trip to 70’s Vegas, plus the reveal of an evil new Book of the Dead, the Necronomicon Ho-Tep.”

On the prospect of putting the two characters together, Duvall said, “I knew the Ash and Elvis team-up would go together like peanut butter and banana. These two worlds already fit so well together in tone, it made it totally plausible that they could co-exist on the same plane.”

Bubba Ho-Tep creator Joe R. Lansdale described the first issue as “delicious as a fried peanut butter and ‘nanner sandwich. I’m as excited as if I had good sense and owned Ft. Knox. Can’t wait.”

The first issue will also have several covers by artists including Robert Hack (“Mars Attacks”), Carlos Gomez (“Red Sonja”), Emma Kubert (“Miss Fury”), Diego Galindo (“Power Rangers”), and Tom Mandrake (“To Hell You Ride”). It will hit stands in February 2019.
