The Seven Sagas of Silverbeard

This 44 page oversized comic book contains TWO amazing adventures of the Gorilla Gladiator.

The first, HELL-BOUND is set during a period of seafaring, high adventure for Silverbeard who has been relentlessly pursuing the World Tree – the only route back to the celestial city of Ash-Halla, home of the Gods who betrayed him.  By partnering with the Pirate Brotherhood, Silverbeard is finally set to locate and reach the Tree. With revenge in his grasp, why does the Simian Sailor then suddenly break his agreement and sail away from the expedition? Where could he be heading? The buccaneers send a shadowy figure from Silverbeard’s past, the roguish jaguar assassin Obsidior, with an ultimatum – return or die!

“Spectacular. Phenomenal. Mind-blowing. Those are terms some people may use to describe Silverbeard. I will simply say, this book has a bad ass gorilla barbarian in it! If you don’t immediately want to read this comic, something is probably wrong with you. ALL HAIL SILVERBEARD!”
