Owner's Description
Original content - Ironwolf, or Iron Wolf, or Captain Iron Wolf, or some such. I don't think Denny could make up his mind. The cover is sooooo classically Chaykin - which is to say the protagonist's sword is facing the wrong way. He does love to draw his swordsmen with their sword pointed behind them. Sure it opens up the chest so you can see how manly they are and you can do armor details and stuff. But it also opens up the chest so someone can stab them, you know, in the chest where are the important bits are. So, also, let me tell you about leather boots that come up over your knee: just no. They're really hot, they bind up behind your knees when you fight, and they have to be made out of really thick leather to stand up - like mine are buffalo are some such. Hot, nasty, sweaty boots. So based on this cover, I'm not exactly sure how there was a 2nd & 3rd appearance of IW before the title ended with issue 10 - because he he's gonna lose his head. Clearly, cleanly chopped off. No helm, no gorget, no chance he's whipping that sword around from behind him to his off side to deflect that blow. I mean, I guess he could dive forward and roll - but yeah - only if he started right now.
Overall - I just don't know if I would have blown 20 cents on this issue based on the cover art. Maybe if I'd been reading Weird Worlds previously - but it looks kinda iffy, and the character name is silly.
