About the series
From 1976 to 1978, Gredown published Blade of Fear, an eight-issue horror anthology series that leaned into macabre, sword-and-sorcery-infused tales. Writer Nicola Cuti anchored the run, joined by a rotating roster of artists including Boada, Esteban Maroto, and Fred Himes, whose distinct styles gave each story a visceral, atmospheric edge. Though brief, the series stands as a cult-era artifact of 1970s independent comics, showcasing the genre-blending ambition that defined the small-press horror boom.
