MIGHTY SAMSON ARCHIVES HC (2025)

"In a radioactive, nuclear-ravaged future, Samson is born into a tribe of peaceful yet desperate people struggling to survive in the desolate city of N'Yark. Surrounded by hungry, wild creatures-creatively mutated and brought to life by Thorne and subsequent artists-and the more savage, selfish remnants of humanity, life is precarious at best for the tribe until Samson displays amazing powers. Discovering that young Samson is a mutant himself, his mother trains Samson to value life, and on her deathbed Samson vows 'to protect the weak from the powerful, the good from the evil!' o This volume reprints the first seven comic books from the original 1960s Mighty Samson series, with playful and imaginative artwork by Frank Thorne seen in the first five issues! "

"With fantastic beasts, savage survivors of a nuclear war, and imaginative artwork by Frank Thorne and Jack Sparling, Mighty Samson Archives volume 2 hits the ground running with nonstop post-apocalyptic adventure and sci-fi fun. Created by prolific writer Otto Binder and artistic titan Frank Thorne, the Mighty Samson's comic-book career lasted for only thirty-two issues, but Dark Horse is bringing the exploits of this daring, one-eyed adventurer to modern audiences in a series of elegant hardcovers! Born into a peaceful yet primitive tribe of N'Yark, in a radioactive future America, Samson learns that he's just as strong and resilient as some of the most vicious, mutated creatures that threaten his tribe. A mutant himself, Samson still vows to protect his defenseless human kin from the dangers around them-and his motto becomes, 'To protect the weak from the powerful, the good from the evil!' o This volume reprints Mighty Samson (1960s comic-book series) issues #7-#14."
