❤️🔥 legend lore check
Karl Edward Wagner’s Kane is the brooding anti-hero of sword & sorcery — immortal, amoral, and always knee-deep in sorcery, betrayal, and blood. Dark Crusade hit paperback in 1976 with this bombastic Frazetta cover: a barbarian pose that’s half Renaissance anatomy study, half heavy metal album art. Warner knew what they were doing — nothing sold like Frazetta’s oil-drenched muscles and hell-lit battle scenes, and this one is Kane at peak doomlord.
