If you ever figure out where, post it. I'd love to read that.

I ran across this (I don't think I've read this exact article before) and it has many of the same details I remember reading.

Savage Tales

Dynamite Entertainment has announced the release of a new anthology named Savage Tales, which will feature sword & sorcery comics with characters such as Red Sonja.

"Savage Tales" has been used as a name in the past by Marvel, but a trademark search reveals that their trademark for the name has expired.

The same search reveals that there's a new applicant for the "Savage Tales" trademark, namely "Savage Tales Entertainment", located in Wilmington, Delaware. The trademark applies to "paper goods and printed matter"; and "comic books", "novels", "comic magazines", and "series of fiction books" are specifically mentioned, among others. Savage Tales Entertaiment filed for the trademark on September 1, 2006, through their attorney, Michael Lovitz.

A year and a half ago, Newsarama reported that Lovitz had claimed the trademarks for several properties originally owned by Valiant Comics: Rai and the Future Force, Deathmate, Harbinger, and others. The applicant for these trademarks was "Valiant Intellectual Properties", having the same Delaware P.O. Box address as "Savage Tales Entertainment". Lovitz declined to give Newsarama any information about Valiant Intellectual Properties at the time. Not more is known about them, save that a year and half ago they approached Christopher Priest and Mark Bright in order to revive "Quantum and Woody", and that Priest described them as "people that we [Priest and Bright]'ve worked with before".

UPDATE (January 10): We've been reminded that a few months ago Dark Horse Comics announced the publication of a new sword-and-sorcery title: Robert E. Howard's Savage Tales. Since it seems Dynamite's title will actually appear first (despite being announced later), we don't know if this means that Dark Horse will have to find a new title for their own anthology.

So, on parody value alone, can we coin a new term, "to be Lovitz'ed?"

So Lovitz strikes again, eh? Wonder how Marvel feels about that?

Chiclo · Post by **Chiclo** » Fri Aug 10, 2007 3:36 pm

Wonder what will happen to him the first time he tangles with one of the Big Two.

I mean, Marvel is big medicine, but DC is part of the Turner family. He'll end up as hog chow somewhere in the backwoods of Georgia.

Yeah, it's unclear if Savage Tales Entertainment is a part of Dynamite like people have said VIP is or if it really is a seperate company that Dynamite licenses the name from.

I remember when he first left the WWF there was a rumor going around a few years later that he died.

I've always liked heels. I'm not as much into wrestling as I once was (I even wrestled in a local promotion for a little while) but I was at my peak of wrestling fandom during the nWo split and a die-hard fan of nWo Hollywood. I also loved the various jobbers (and there were hundreds) that showed up on the WCW promotions. La Parka and Psicosis were two of my favourites. When the LWO came out, it quickly became my favourite stable. I remember the first time I got to see a live wrestling event. It was a WCW dark show in Amarillo. It opened with a six-man tag match with many of my favourite wrestlers like La Parka, Psicosis and Norman Smiley. La Parka walked into the ring, the first wrestler of the night. I was on the second row and cheering for him loudly and he flipped me off personally. Then he stood on top of a chair in the middle of the ring and flipped off the whole auditorium. That was great. Smiley was really the only other one that worked the crowd that match and of course the crowd loved him.

I went again the next year, and Lance Storm had the US title and had renamed it the Canadian title. Of course, being Amarillo, Terry Funk beat him and brought the title back to the US. It made me sad because the good guy won. Wrestling is no fun that way, but the good guys have to win from time to time.

Wow - my last post in this thread proves one point: there is nothing funny about VIP.
