Publisher Description. Enter: Cruel Kingdom #1 — EC's first-ever dark-fantasy anthology conjuring tales of MAGIC, MYTH, and MURDER from forbidden realms long before our own on January 8.
Behold the bloody and barbarous age of wizards, knights, and dragons as reimagined in the immutable EC manner as master scribes Al Ewing (Immortal Hulk), Chris Condon (Green Arrow, That Texas Blood), and Greg Pak (Darth Vader, Planet Hulk) couple their forces with iron-wrought artists Kano (Cruel Universe), Leomacs (Rogues, Ghostlore), and Charlie Adlard (Epitaphs from the Abyss) to forge a terrifying new vision of death, life, and adventure "once upon a time…"
From the twisted minds that spawned Epitaphs from the Abyss and Cruel Universe, steel thyself for 40 pages of fatal fantasy and skullduggerous sorcery in one cursed tome of comic book enchantment!
