Battle Axe: The Magazine of Savage Adventure

From 1989 onward, Fictioneer Books launched Battle Axe: The Magazine of Savage Adventure, a single-issue comic that epitomized the publisher's pulp-inspired, no-holds-barred approach to fantasy and action. Most frequently written by Gary Carlson and illustrated by Angel Medina, this oversized magazine-style comic delivered a raw, visceral brand of adventure that resonated with fans of the era's independent, creator-owned scene. While brief, Battle Axe stands as a notable artifact of late-'80s indie comics, showcasing the energetic, unpolished talent that defined Fictioneer's output.
