Esau Cairn

A Bronze Age original born in the pages of Epic in 1983, Esau Cairn arrived courtesy of creator Wendy Pini into some extraordinarily rarefied company — sharing those early issues with the likes of Conan, Kull, and Elric, a murderers' row of sword-and-sorcery royalty. Published under the Arédit-Artima banner across a brief but intriguing 1983–1984 run, this is a rare find for collectors who love the era's bold experimentation and the heroic fantasy genre at full throttle. With only three catalog appearances, Esau Cairn is exactly the kind of elusive Bronze Age gem that rewards the dedicated digger.
