Plot
The classic Conan the Barbarian meets Mike Mignola's Hellboy by way of Norse mythology and Icelandic sagas in an epic graphic novel adventure of innocence wronged and vengeance taken! "A sword untried is a sword untested," says one raven to another as they set out to witness the fate of the finest farm in Garmrland and its owner, Barbarian Lord. When he is cheated out of his lands and banished, Barbarian Lord begins a quest for allies and for justice, encountering monsters, ghouls, gods, and mediocre poets along the way. Combining the rich traditions of the Vikings and Nordic lore with sword-and-sorcery-and slyly understated humor-this graphic novel introduces an original hero with classic flair, brought to life in Matt Smith's beautifully drawn, detailed, and action-filled black-and-white illustrations. Hardcover, 8-in. x 8-in., 176 pages, B&W.
