Wednesday Worlds of Wonder BRAK THE BARBARIAN "Sword and the Road"

Who is Brak the Barbarian?

Though we presented his first comic appearance last week, most current comics fans are totally-unaware of him!

So let's clear up the matter...

After this never-reprinted text feature from Marvel's Savage Tales V1N6 (1974), there were two more Brak short-story collections; When the Idols Walked (1978) and Fortunes of Brak (1980).

All the books were re-edited into the collection shown below.

Next week: Part One of "The Unspeakable Shrine"!

The (Complete) Adventures of Brak the Barbarian

Volume One & Volume Two

(includes a never-before-published conclusion to the series!)

Reading Room BOLD ADVENTURE "Time Force" Conclusion

We Have Already Seen...

...a group of superhumans, scientifically-created to be protectors of the weak and helpless throughout the universe, are being slaughtered, out-by-one.

Their killer was Baal, a member of their group, driven mad with a lust for power over all sentient beings.

Now, he has discovered the location of the last of his brethren...

And that's how this tale ends!
No "next issue" blurb!
No "To Be Continued!"
Between this and the other two stories in Pacific's Bold Adventure #1 (1983), I wasn't sure if there would even be a second issue, much less a continuation of this tale.
Pacific wasn't the most reliable publisher, sometimes taking a year between issues!

But, eventually, a second issue came out (five months later).
We'll bring you that one soon...

Reading Room BOLD ADVENTURE "Time Force" Part 1

This never-reprinted series is easily one of the weirdest ones I've ever seen...

...with a concept that seems almost at odds with the story the spectacular art is telling!

To be continued...
TOMORROW!

There's lots of pseudo-biblical references (including a scientific Creation/Genesis, a fallen angel/guardian, and a potential Savior.

The antagonist, Baal, considers himself a deity, yet needs technology to achieve his ends.

The creators of Baal and the protaganists are clearly not the creators of the universe themselves, nor have they the power to control the sentient beings which inhabit it!

Co-creators writer/editor Bill DuBay and artist Rudy Nebres are telling an interesting tale in Pacific's Bold Adventure #1 (1983).

But, to my mind it's almost a textbook example of why writers shouldn't edit themselves!

Let's see where it goes....

Reading Room WEIRDWORLD "Warriors of the Shadow Realm" Part the First: City of Seven Dark Delights III

We Have Already Seen..

...two elves, Tyndall and Velanna, and a somewhat-irritating dwarf named Mud-Butt, head for the City of Seven Dark Delights.
But, it's a journey fraught with danger!

 ...and with that, we enter into what was rightfully-called a "mind-boggling 3-page color foldout"!

Be Here Tomorrow to Find Out!
Here's a hint...

 ...ya gotta love the way this series provides its' own recaps, eh?

And, now, one with the story...

Enter the City of Seven Dark Delights...if you dare...tomorrow!

Reading Room WEIRDWORLD "Warriors of the Shadow Realm" Part the First: City of Seven Dark Delights I

And so this chapter of the saga begins, innocently enough...

...with three beings we would consider "fantastic" telling stories about creatures they consider "fantastic"!

You'll find out whose trail tomorrow, elf, and you'll wish you hadn't...

BTW, here's the credits from the never-reprinted Marvel Super Special #11 (1979)...

Kool, eh?
