Sabretooth: The Dead Don't Talk - by Frank Tieri (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Sabretooth has long been Wolverine's most vicious foe, but much of his past is shrouded in mystery - including this thrilling tale from the early 1900s of NYC!

Journey into the past for a secret chapter in the savage saga of Sabretooth -- as a feared gangster and murderer who rose to power among the notorious New York gangs of the early 1900s! Victor Creed may be dead, but the secrets from his past -- and the ways in which they may affect Wolverine in the present -- are very much alive! With names like the Frankengang, the Spirits of '76 and the Nightshifters, the feuding gangs of the Big Apple are as varied and colorful as they are deadly. But the question is, are they as deadly as Mad Dog Murphy, new guy in town? When a lethal player known as Dragonfire makes the leap from the mean streets of K'un-Lun to the even meaner streets of NYC, it looks like deep-fried Sabretooth may be on the menu! Featuring vampires, a gangster in steampunk arnor and a murderous crocodile man on the loose, discover Sabretooth's blood-soaked quest to be the Kingpin of the Five Points Underworld!

About the Author

Frank Tieri entered the early part of the new century as writer on diverse titles such as Wolverine, Iron Man and Weapon X. His Hercules limited series cast the Avenger as a reality-TV star reliving his twelve trials, continuing the lighthearted legacy of Olympus' favorite son. Tieri's Underworld and Civil War: War Crimes explored the effects of the heroes' registration fight on Marvel's criminal element. World War Hulk: Gamma Corps followed the next generation of gamma-irradiated superhumans as they sought to kill the Hulk. And Dark Reign: Lethal Legion charted the crash-and-burn exploits of an ad hoc team of bad guys as they vainly sought to topple Norman Osborn from power. Tieri, whose Marvel credits also includes New Excalibur, explored Weirdworld in the pages of Black Knight.
