Killraven written and drawn by Alan Davis, inks by Mark Farmer, colors by Gregory Wright, letters by Pat Prentice

Killraven was a 70s-era character from Marvel's Amazing Adventures whose concept involved a world conquered by Wells' Martian invaders. When Davis was asked by then Marvel EiC what character he'd like to work on he responded with John Carter. But since Burroughs' properties were owned by another company Davis was asked if he'd be willing to use a different sword-swinging human who fought Martians...

Davis' art is, as always, spectacular. Ex-slave rebels in near fetish gear, mutants, costumed bandits or alien war machines. Alan Davis makes them all jump off the page. The story is a fun call-back to old-school post-apocalyptic sci-fi stories...
