Barbarian Behind Bars #3

Mad Cave's wildly entertaining fish-out-of-water series rolls on with issue #3, and Francesco Tomaselli's cover makes a strong case for why this barbarian is not adjusting quietly to modern incarceration. A massively built, wild-maned warrior dominates the image, wielding what appears to be a baton while a uniformed officer recoils and two more agitated figures close in from behind — the whole scene crackles with barely contained chaos. Elliott Kalan, Andrea Mutti, and Taylor Esposito bring their full talents to this 2026 series that keeps finding fresh comedy and tension in the collision between ancient brawn and contemporary law enforcement.
