About the series
Set in the 9th century, this DC series from the early 1980s follows Arak, a Native American warrior of the Thunder People, as he voyages through a mythic, sword-and-sorcery version of Europe. Written primarily by Roy and Dann Thomas, with artwork by Ernie Colón and Tony DeZuniga, the 50-issue run blends historical adventure with fantasy, featuring the shamaness Teela. It stands out as a bold, culturally distinct epic that expanded DC's genre range beyond superheroes.
