Berserker Unbound cover

Jeff Lemire teams up with Marvel artist Mike Deodato Jr to explore an intriguing proposition in this Dark Horse graphic novel: what would happen if a Conan the Barbarian archetype found himself transported to modern-day America?

The Mongrel King is a dead-ringer for Conan, with a classic barbarian aesthetic of long hair, rippling muscles and huge weapon. But by placing him in an alien world, where he is befriended by a homeless man, Lemire takes the character on the kind of journey that Robert E. Howard probably never dreamed of.
