Esau Cairn flees after killing a corrupt political boss in the late 1930s; and by luck, fate or misfortune, he finds himself in a mad scientist’s lab. The scientist transports Cairn to a distant planet called Almuric, where Cairn frees the citizens from a despotic queen, becomes known as Ironhand, and forges an empire of his own. But Cairn, blinded by his sudden success, fails to see the mistreatment of the Almurians going on behind his back. And when his closest troops are decimated because of Ironhand’s arrogance, his empire quickly falls. Once again, he’s on his own, on the run, and reliant only on his own wits and power to solve an intriguing mystery.

This classic character from Robert E. Howard, the creator of Conan and Red Sonja, is resurrected lovingly in this four-part Dark Horse series.

Story/Spoilers
In issue #1, “Crownless In Koth”, Esau Cairn, Ironhand, continues his adventures on the distant planet Almuric. With sword in hand, Cairn battles his way from one danger to the next – in an attempt to bring peace to a war-torn world, and to find his own place in it!

Next in issue #2, “Beyond The Girdle”, The mighty Cairn has fallen. Confronted by the corpses of his wife and child, the great warrior is ready to join them in eternity – only to have fate intervene! It’s war with the winged Yagas and more wonder and sword-wielding action on the distant planet Almuric!

Next in issue #3, “To The Lair of the Ancients”, The alien world of Almuric is held in thrall by a mysterious group of beings known as The Ancients. To break their spell, the earthman Cairn must first battle another sworn enemy: Yasmeena, the hive-queen of the deadly Yagas!
