Created by acclaimed comics writer Grant Morrison and artist Sean Murphy, Joe The Barbarian is the story of Joe, a sickly 13 year-old with diabetes, a pet rat and a room full of toys. But one night he's transported to a strange new world of warriors and kingdoms, a world that seems to waiting for him arrive and save it. Or is it all the hallucinations of a very sick boy? Joe the Barbarian will be published in a deluxe hardcover edition in November by Vertigo.
