"Kuno Son of Steel" kicks off with a haunting tale of legacy and consequence, as the Duke De Severne’s decision to banish an old man—whom the townsfolk whisper is a wizard—unleashes a curse tied to a mysterious sword. Tom Hickey’s dynamic art brings the grim atmosphere to life, while Frank Frazetta’s legendary cover captures the mythic weight of the story, all set in the stark, unforgiving world of 1990’s A-Plus Comics.
