Epic Illustrated #13

Marvel's prestige fantasy anthology arrives in August 1982 with a cover that sets a brooding, atmospheric tone: a fallen armored knight sprawls across a cold, rain-slicked ground, sword in hand, while a second armored figure looms nearby and a mysterious glowing woman watches from the darkened treeline above. Mike Saenz's painted linework gives the scene a moody, painterly weight that suits the magazine's grown-up sensibility perfectly. Inside, readers can look forward to the final chapter of Weirdworld, Arthur Suydam's "Rites of Spring," "Grab" by Michael Brent, and the latest Dragonmaster of Klarn installment from Doug Moench and John Buscema — a genuinely strong lineup for fans of illustrated fantasy and science fiction.
