I did a little looking into it on my own and I guess it was a projected six volume adaptation that was cancelled after issue three. Alas, it was a victim of the 90's comic bust. The guy who does Gloom Cookie drew it. \n\nDon\n\n\n\n \t\t"

Only the covers have that flashy style that looks more Conan. \nUnfortunately the publisher went out of business before the series \ncould get any farther. I was able to get a colored page of original \nartwork from one of them from the artist a year or so ago. It details \nthe finding of Triskele. My favorite sequences from the comic was \nUltan's library and the giant undine.\n-Scott K."
