In 1987 the awesome Chicago-based comics company First Comics launched this fabulous comics adaptation by the likes of Mike Baron (script) and Mike Mignola (pencils) in a 12-issue cycle, presenting 'The Knight of the Swords' (Titan Comics Volume 1 - out now), 'The Queen of the Swords' (Titan Comics Volume 2 - slated for aug. 2018) and 'The King of the Swords' (Titan Comics Volume 3 - 'coming soon').
Mike Mignola? Yes, Mike Mignola.
If you have never seen or read the Chronicles of Corum comics adaptation, you haven't really read Mignola yet.
The series' first installment features an organicly flowing cast of inkers (Rick Burchett, Kelley Jones) as well as colorists (Ripley Thornhill, Linda Lessmann) and Titan's new 112-page edition makes for a quality hardcover featuring a Ron Marz introduction and the original covers in full color.
Do yourself a favor and check this title out. For it is boss.
In the name of creator-owned works or quality comics the acclaimed and original First Comics company poignantly broke open the downdumbing "Big Two superhero hegemony", before Dark Horse even existed yet, with such iconic successes as Howard Chaykin's American Flagg, Mike Baron & Steve Rude's Nexus, Ostrander & Truman's Grimjack, and indeed the Chronicles of Corum.
