Bloodstar

An ambitious one-shot from French publisher Les Humanoïdes Associés, Bloodstar (1981) adapts Robert E. Howard's heroic fantasy into a lavishly painted graphic novel. Illustrated by the legendary Richard Corben with a script by John Jakes, it stands as a landmark of European-influenced American comics, showcasing Corben's uniquely visceral, painterly style. Its single, self-contained issue remains a cult touchstone for fans of mature, visually stunning sword-and-sorcery.
