Sword Of Claw

Here, a couple of covers from Claw The Unconquered, by Keith Giffen and Ernie Chan, featuring the barbaric Claw (a warrior with a demon's hand) fighting against Mahan K'Handa and N'Hglthss in Claw The Unconquered #8 and #9 (July-August and September-October, 1976).

 

Remembering Artist Joe Kubert

Remembering artist Joe Kubert (September 18, 1926 - August 12, 2012) on his birthday with a look at a few covers he did for fantasy characters over the decades, including the Viking Prince and Claw The Unconquered.

Claw The Unconquered had 9 issues done before it disappeared for a while, but when it returned in 1978, Joe Kubert provided its last 3 covers for the warrior with the demon hand.

.

Musician Jim Rook found himself in another dimension, where he welded a different sword as Nightmaster, for 3 issues of Showcase in 1969.

.

Viking Prince was a series Joe Kubert provided the interiors for from Brave and the Bold #1, but only covers for the last three issues of the Viking Prince's run in 1959.  

.

Joe Kubert was usually know for war covers, but, as you can see, he could sneak some fantasy into those as well!

.

Even more than the covers above, there was a team-up of Sgt. Rock and the Viking Prince...and you can read more about that here!
