☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"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.
In the wilds of an unknown land, Kuno Son of Steel and his fellow Vikings—Harald Forkbeard, Olaf, and Erik—struggle to survive after being shipwrecked. When a pack of wolves attacks their small group, Kuno is left behind, stranded and alone, facing the harsh wilderness with only his strength and wits to rely on.
In a land where honor is forged in blood and loyalty is measured in steel, King Beowulf calls upon Thane Hrothelac of Bagarth and Thane Garmscio of Rothfor to end their bitter feud. With tensions flaring and ancient grudges at the breaking point, the king demands they present their proofs before him—each hoping to claim justice, or at least vengeance.
Duke De Severne’s decision to banish a rumored wizard sets off a chain of misfortunes that shadows his bloodline, beginning with a cursed sword that brings ruin to the Severne family. As each generation inherits the blade, the weight of its legacy grows—tying the fates of Compte Raoul Severne, Francois De Severne, and Henry Severne to a dark secret buried in their past.
In a tale whispered from the shadows, Friar Sanders recounts the legend of the Black Flight to Dorain, a story of ancient dread and forbidden magic. Years later, armed with that knowledge, Dorain must find a way to break Merlin’s spell and rescue Lady Hilda—before the darkness claimed them both.
