About The Book

A bloody barbaric blast from the creative team behind Maniac of New York!

From beyond the limits of time and space comes a warrior whose quest against evil brings his strong arm and battle axe to earth — where he’s swiftly arrested and thrown in prison. Ignorant of English, short-tempered, violent, and with no allies other than his cheese sandwich-grilling cellmate and his cynical public defender, the barbarian must find a way to escape his cage before his greatest enemy returns from the dead to use the prison system against him! But can this mythic hero survive a world where a shower can become a death pit and a mystic gem of power is just so much contraband?
