That he's hard to get along with is quite the understatement when it comes to Barbarian Lord, the flawed hero of this energetic, epic black-and-white graphic novel. Using his mind and muscle he exacts revenge on villain Skullmaster for stealing his farmland. Battles with trolls, witches, and man-beasts are knitted with Icelandic lore, making this book appealing to lovers of heroic fantasy stories.
