Strange Worlds #2

In the dawn days of Earth, the fearsome giant Balthar the Terrible marshals his pagan followers to raid and conquer the rich lands to the north, but Crom the Barbarian—restless ruler of the city Ophir—seizes the chance to reclaim his warrior's pride and ride the sword-path once more. As Crom leads his forces south to meet the giant threat, he and his men must first survive the river journey through a gauntlet of ancient horrors, testing his legendary blade Skull-Biter against monsters that dwarf even seasoned warriors. When Crom finally comes face to face with the source of the terror, only his cunning and steel will determine whether Ophir survives the giant from beyond.

In "The Weapon Out of Time," Professor James Chalmers unveils a revolutionary device that lets him peer into the distant past, revealing a clash between ancient civilizations 100,000 years ago. With his colleague Professor Robert Matson watching, the device transports them into a forgotten era where the fate of a lost world hangs in the balance—where the enigmatic Tu-Han, the cunning Sark, the mysterious Ka-Rin, the resilient Princess Mo-Ra, and the shadowy Ma-Gul move through a time long buried beneath the sands of history.

When aviators Ford Robbins and Gene Dorn crash-land on a mysterious forgotten shore, they discover a thriving Viking settlement caught between two warring factions—the peaceful people of Tine, led by the warrior Druil, and the brutal Cyngar and his raiders. The arrival of Dara, Druil's daughter and guardian of the legendary Golden Bow that has long kept Cyngar at bay, throws the delicate balance into chaos, and Ford and Gene find themselves swept into a desperate struggle to save their new allies from destruction. With ingenuity and cunning, the two outsiders devise an unexpected defense against overwhelming odds—but Cyngar's ambitions may prove more dangerous than anyone anticipated.
