The first book I'll talk about is from Atlas Comics, it's called IRON JAW! Basically a Conan/ Krull type but...with a fucking iron jaw. I found issue #2 (there were only 4 issues apparently), which featured our hero battling a huge bear. It was titled IRONJAW the KING!
Here are some selected quotes that I found irresistible:
This one was on the first page, a kind of primer to this badass named Ironjaw.
"He rode from the forest astride a great UNICORN, this fearsome warrior with an IRON JAW. His weapons are the bow, the knife, and the axe, and wherever he goes, DEATH follows. For his is not a shining legend of heroism, but a hideous saga of one man's survival."
This last one happens to be a the last line of of the book.
"As for me, I would rather wonder the Earth ALONE, or ride with TARLOK and his band of ROBBERS! At least they respect what is truly IMPORTANT in my life...FIGHTING...STEALING....and worshiping the STARS!!"
You can find more information about the comics here: (you can also scope out the Neal Adam's covers for this issue and the first)

Also I could not go without drawing Iron Jaw so for your pleasure:
Yeah man! Iron Jaw was totally cool. Look out for Planet of the Vampires too, another cool book from Atlas.
ReplyDeleteI will definitely keep my eye out for that one! Thanks for the heads up!
ReplyDeleteIronjaw sounds awesome. I just ordered 4 issues from mycomicshop.com.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up.
Love your recent Melon Man strips. Would love a full mini of your barbarian type stuff.
