Mighty Samson Archives, Volume 2 — Dark Horse Comics

With fantastic beasts, savage survivors of a nuclear war, and imaginative artwork by Frank Thorne and Jack Sparling, Mighty Samson Archives Volume 2 hits the ground running with nonstop post-apocalyptic adventure and sci-fi fun. Created by prolific writer Otto Binder and artistic titan Frank Thorne, the Mighty Samson's comic-book career lasted for only thirty-two issues, but Dark Horse is bringing the exploits of this daring, one-eyed adventurer to modern audiences in a series of elegant hardcovers Born into a peaceful yet primitive tribe of N'Yark, in a radioactive future America, Samson vows to protect his defenseless human kin from the dangers around them -- and his motto becomes, "To protect the weak from the powerful, the good from the evil " With the beautiful Sharmaine and her scientist father, Mindor, Samson ventures out into his strange world on a quest to unravel the secrets of his country's past while surviving in a future filled with ridiculously transformed animals and desperate, violent humans. Surprisingly lighthearted, these tales have more than a little humor mixed in with their themes of destruction and human folly.
