February 5, 2026 - Throwback Thursday - Joe the Barbarian

Hey there, Adventurers! Gather 'round for a tale so titanic, so heart-wrenching, and so visually vibrant that it’ll make your whiskers wilt!

For this week’s Throwback Thursday, I’m pointing my cosmic index finger toward a modern masterpiece that’ll have you cheering from the rafters! I’m talking about none other than Joe the Barbarian!

Now, listen close, because this isn’t your average "sword and sorcery" romp! Our main man, Grant Morrison—a writer with a mind more expansive than the Negative Zone—teams up with the sensational Sean Gordon Murphy to bring us the story of young Joe.

It’s got everything a frantic fan could want:

A Brave Hero in a hoodie!

A Valiant Steed (well, a pet rat named Jack who becomes a samurai warrior!)

Art so Detailed you’ll need a magnifying glass just to soak in every spectacular stroke of Murphy's pen!

It’s a story about the hero inside all of us, proving that sometimes the biggest battles are the ones we fight within our own four walls.

Have you journeyed through the Iron Knight's realm with Joe, or is this your first time hearing the call to adventure?

Drop by he shop and experience Joe the Barbarian.
