Corban the Barbearian

Phil Greene’s Corban the Barbearian, published by McNeil Entrepreneurs Inc. since 1987, is a cult two-issue comic that blends swords-and-sorcery adventure with a punny, anthropomorphic twist. Written and drawn entirely by Greene, it follows its ursine hero through a brief but memorable journey that stands out for its earnest, low-budget charm and singular creative vision. Though short-lived, the series endures as a quirky artifact of independent 1980s comics.
