Joe the Barbarian (SC)
Written by GRANT MORRISON
Art and cover by SEAN MURPHY
JOE MANSON IS NO HERO.
He's just a 13-year-old kid with a pet rat named Jack, a mom who's trying hard to keep their family afloat, and a case of diabetes that ensures an insulin coma is only a single missed meal away. He's got a notebook full of drawings, a room full of toys, a school full of bullies, and a house full of memories. He's no one special.
UNTIL TONIGHT.
On this particular evening, Joe is transported to an incredible world of danger and daring - one that's both strangely familiar and unlike anything he's ever seen. In this uncanny new world the stairways, hallways and doorways of his big, dark house are mist-shrouded mountains, vast kingdoms and forbidding gateways to parts unknown, while his toys and his pet are mighty warriors, and Joe is the Dying Boy - the long-awaited savior who can overthrow King Death and restore the Light.
Joe has no idea if he's really a hero or if he's just hallucinating. But he does know that he must complete his quest - or else Joe the Barbarian's first adventure will also be his last.
From the mind of Eisner Award-winning writer Grant Morrison and the hand of acclaimed artist Sean Murphy comes JOE THE BARBARIAN - an epic story of high adventure, low blood sugar, and the hero inside us all.
