Barbarian Behind Bars (2025)

Who is the mysterious, musclebound warrior who came to our world in a storm of magic and violence?! That’s what public defender Irene Chang wants to know. This guy came out of nowhere, doesn’t speak English, and now she’s supposed to help him beat a murder charge after he chopped some other weird dude’s head off with a magic axe in broad daylight? Of course, he may not live to go to trial, with all the enemies he’s making in prison. Good thing his cellmate grills a mean cheese sandwich. BARBARIAN BEHIND BARS is the fight-packed fantasy prison thriller you didn’t know you always needed.

The Barbarian is making a break from behind bars — but between freedom and our hero from another world stands a squad of taser-wielding prison guards! Luckily, a solitary confinement cell is a great place to receive a mystic visitation from a goddess of cosmic justice. Meanwhile, the Barbarian’s public defender, Irene Chang gets much too close for comfort with her client’s possessed, blood-thirsty battleaxe! BARBARIAN BEHIND BARS is the high-fantasy grindhouse story you’ve been dreaming of!

The Barbarian is in for the fight of his life! When his last weapon is stolen from him, and an enemy from his past is revealed in his present, Darcor might just be out of luck...and out of time.

Nothing’s going well for anyone! The Barbarian: comatose in the prison infirmary! That weasel Garth: in pain after stealing the Barbarian’s gem of power! The warden: fully possessed by evil! Lannie: forced to cook cheese sandwiches or die! What better time for the Barbarian to finally reveal where he came from — and why no one’s likely to survive the night! The brutal, blood-bursting high fantasy prison pulp thunders towards its climax!

The Barbarian completes the tragic story of his beginnings — before facing his violet end! Prince Darcor must finally destroy the spirit of Mad King Torv, but a cell block of possessed prisoners stands in his way! If only he had a public defender armed with a blood-hungry magic axe… Oh wait, he does! Don’t miss the bone-snapping, violence-soaked conclusion of the best high fantasy prison grindhouse comic you’ll see all year!
