The sword-swinging Black Beth is back by popular demand! Written by Alec Worley (Durham Red) and drawn by DaNi (Coffin Bound), Beth is a warrior-woman born in anger and forged in rage. She and her blind aide Quido have traveled to the wicked city of Shadrivar, in search of the evil witch Anis-Amuun. Many think that she is long dead, but a mage called Estevan believes otherwise. He charges Beth with a quest to destroy the witch, initiating a sea-spanning quest which pits Beth's curved blade against all manner of mystical creatures - and possibly Anis-Amuun herself!
Classic sword & sorcery, bringing back a forgotten character from the mists of time in Brit comics, Alec Worley and DaNi's ‘Black Beth and the Devils of Al-Kadesh' is wonderful comic. Worley's story plays it all straight, all the better to allow DaNi's art to shine – and it absolutely does, making Black Beth a striking example of an artist at their height making beautiful work.
