Eerie Presents El Cid

Status: Completed

Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar -- also known to historians as El Cid -- was an eleventh century Spanish military commander who led both Christians and Moors into battle. In the pages of Eerie magazine, however, writer Budd Lewis and artist Gonzalo Mayo transform El Cid into a larger-than-life fantasy warrior, battling dragons, trolls, and sirens for his life -- and demons for his soul! This deluxe edition collects every El Cid adventure that ran in Warren Publishing's Eerie magazine in the mid-1970s, featuring the elaborately detailed artwork of Mayo, plus Eerie's original historical background feature. Cover painting by Sanjulian, frontispiece by Bernie Wrightson (Frankenstein)!
