Brothers of the Spear Archives #1

This Dark Horse Archives volume collects the classic Brothers of the Spear strips by writer Gaylord Du Bois and artist Russ Manning, whose cover art sets the tone beautifully: two spear-wielding warriors stand alert in the foreground while a tense confrontation unfolds behind them — a group of armed figures, including a helmeted warrior with a shield, face off against a white-clad figure amid a backdrop of lush wilderness. Manning's clean, dynamic linework captures both the adventure and the sweeping African setting that defines the series. At $49.99, this 2012 archive is a generous invitation to explore the Bachuanaland wilderness where these stories began.
