Mighty Samson #1
In "Mighty Samson," writer Otto Binder and artist Frank Thorne kick off a thrilling adventure as Samson, Sharmaine, and Mindor uncover ancient rifles in a forgotten armory. When an antlered gorilla attacks, Mindor’s quick thinking turns the tide—only for Kull and his gang to seize them, desperate to learn the weapon’s secrets. The escape leads to a dramatic collapse, burying the rifles beneath the ruins. Cover by Mo Gollub.
In the scorched ruins of Post-Nuclear War New York, a boy born with the strength of ten men must learn what it means to be a hero. Guided by his mother’s final wish and joined by the brilliant Mindor and his sharp-minded daughter Sharmaine, Samson sets out to protect the vulnerable in a world still reeling from catastrophe.
In "Ancient Weapon," Samson, Sharmaine, and Mindor uncover a forgotten armory filled with mysterious rifles—just as an antlered gorilla attacks. When Mindor figures out how to use one, the beast falls, but the kill doesn’t go unnoticed: Kull and his gang capture the trio, desperate to learn the weapon’s secrets. In a desperate escape, Samson triggers a collapse that buries the rifles beneath the ruins.
