A READER'S GUIDE TO SWORD & SORCERY

THANE OF BAGARTH (CHARLETON)

(December 1967-September 1969)

(October-December 1985) (ACG 1999)

Written by Steve Skeates/Drawn by Jim Aparo

Set in the time of Beowulf's elder years, the comic focuses on the young Thane of Bagarth who loses his holdings to a rival and his insidious brother. The series seems more like a historical comic most of the time, written in stilted Prince Valiant narration, until Issue #10 when people from our time find their way back into the past. The Thane comics from 1985 reprint the first 4 chapters. The ACG reprint reused the Ruby Nebres cover from 1985.
