From the publisher:
Bloodstar, Richard Corben's fantasy masterpiece!
Bloodstar is based on the short story The Valley of the Worm, by Robert E. Howard, originally published in February 1934 in Weird Tales.
Transposed by Richard Corben to a post-apocalyptic universe where men have fallen back into barbarism and have forgotten all traces of our civilization, this work tells the epic of Bloodstar, fierce warrior of the people of the Aesirs, and the trials set in his path, by men and ruthless nature, which he will face to write his legend.
Bloodstar, Richard Corben's masterpiece, a world exclusive!
Out of print for 40 years but never reissued since, here at last is Bloodstar, Richard Corben's masterpiece made in 1975, inspired by the work of Robert E. Howard, founding pillar of fantasy.
It took us almost ten years of research and negotiations to find the rights holders and the original material, and we are finally able to offer you this magnificent work often considered--including by his 2019 Grand Prix d'Angoulême--one of his finest creations. Bloodstar is also considered one of the best adaptations ever made of a Robert E. Howard story.
This edition will allow you to discover this fantasy masterpiece in its magnificent original black and white and grayscale, directly restored from the original material, by the passionate specialist José Villarubia for Delirium editions!
