Starr The Slayer #1-4 (Of 4) Complete

A four-issue miniseries about , an obscure Conan-like character breaking the fourth wall to confront his creator who is vaguely reminiscent of Robert E. Howard, all narrated by an old savage from Starr's world, set to rap, under Marvel Comics' MAX imprint. How about that? Pretty artwork, too.

You want barbarian action? You got it! Nomad. Slave. Warrior. King. All of these describe the man known today as Starr the Slayer. But before he was any of those, he was simply an idea floating around in the head of Len Carson, a pulp novelist with ambitions of literary greatness. His dreams dashed and his career on the skids, Carson makes the fateful decision to revisit his most famous creation. But what he never expected was for his creation to revisit him…in person! Let the smashing and slicing commence! Story by: Daniel Way; Art by: Richard Corben; Colors by: Jose Villarrubia -- His army assembled, the barbarian juggernaut Starr marches out of the Darklands and straight into Kulumurud, the heart of the evil sorcerer Trull’s empire! But Trull knows Starr is coming and goes to Len Carson, the hapless pulp novelist and creator of Starr whom he holds captive, to use his magic—his typewriter—to create a deadly trap that Starr not only won’t be able to avoid, but that he will not be able to survive! The fate of Zardath hangs in the balance of this final battle, with no guarantee of a future of any kind! Explicit Content. WRITER: Daniel Way; PENCILS: Richard Corben --
