To protect Prince Eric, heir to the throne of Haven, from death at the claws of Toadthrax the Sorcerer (servant of the usurper King Kang), King Ranald sends his son along with Queen Jade, bodyguard Quanah: the Painted Warrior along with Genghis Grimtoad (inept apprentice to court sorcerer Karbunkle Grimtoad) to Quanah's mountainous northern homeland!
Ranald and Karbunkle hold off the attackers as long as possible, and die heroically.
But their sacrifice may be in vain as Kang's troops catch up with the refugees in Boglund, Grimtoad's homeland...

Written
by Alan Grant & John Wagner and illustrated by Ian Gibson, the
series appeared in 2-page installments in all 20 issues of Marvel UK's bi-weekly Strip Magazine (their version of Marvel USA's Epic Magazine) and ended, incomplete, when the title was cancelled.
The strip was compiled along with the unpublished material to finish the story for a graphic novel version published in 1990.
Though
intended for sale in both in the UK and USA, the trade paperback
received limited distribution here and hasn't been reprinted since then!
