Jami Comments: It’s like Sarek Of Vulcan has somehow been crossed with a stereotypical hero in a western version of a Japanese movie. Meanwhile bubble headed bobbies are threatening him with roman candles.

It’s a Two-fer Tuesday: Russian Dick Blade … and friends!
Good Show Sir Comments: My Google Russian translator tells me the top line says “J. Lord” and РИЧАРД БЛЕЙД is “Richard Blade” and the last line on each is “Hero” and “Winner”. I am assuming they are some sort of omnibus volumes. Feel free to translate.
Thanks to Alex for sending this in.

Tor Mented Comments: First off, stop swinging the sword. The artist didn’t bother to put in a target for you to hit. Second, bad fake Frazetta is worse than no Frazetta at all.
