CROM: The Destroyer is a 66 page spectacular fantasy story that is available as both a Full Color square bound Graphic Novel (6 7/8" x 10 1/2") AND as a Black and White Magazine (8 1/2 x 11). The book is a return to the basics of low fantasy, in the style of Robert E. Howard, and showcases the art of Jim O'Riley, Nik Axe, and former Marvel and DC artist Michael Gustovich. It is intended for all ages (with some blood within the battle scenes.)
Also available in the campaign are several pin-up posters, two oversized (6 7/8" x 10 ½") cards, and a cloth map. Check out all this PLUS our 11 PAGE PREVIEW below!
