Grognak the Barbarian was a series of comic books published by Hubris Comics in the mid-21st century.
Background[]
The comic books relate the adventures of a titular character in a prehistoric world of magic and melee combat.[1] There were at least fourteen issues of the comic book. Many of these books were badly damaged or destroyed by the Great War of 2077. An intact copy, with no missing pages, is considered very rare. The price for a copy was $23. There was also a TV show being produced in the downtown Boston Hubris Comics. A video game, Grognak & The Ruby Ruins, was released by Hubris Comics Game Studio in 2063.

Caesar: "I know he's a coward, hiding behind an army of robots, ensconced in that tower of his like a wizard in one of those Grognak comic books. Some say he's a man, others, a machine. I don't care. He's in the way."
