Frank Frazetta's Dark Kingdom #1

Frank Frazetta's Dark Kingdom arrives at Image in 2008 with a cover that channels the master's savage fantasy aesthetic — a massively built warrior in a winged helmet and red cape stands triumphant, battle-axe in hand, his boots planted atop a skeletal fallen foe amid a smoldering, ruined landscape. Tim Vigil's pencils and Jay Fotos's inks deliver raw, visceral energy that feels right at home with the Frazetta name above the title. If brooding sword-and-sorcery darkness is your thing, Part 1 is a compelling place to start.
