Over the weekend, Astonishing Comics launched a crowdfunding campaign for Kor-Drath: The Awakening, a sword and sorcery-style fantasy akin to Conan and Masters of the Universe.

The project is already fully funded, having raised more than $27 thousand at the time of this writing.

Co-created by Andy Smith and Dennis Turner, The Awakening is the follow-up to Kor-Drath: The Reckoning, which was successfully crowdfunded in 2022.

Here’s the official pitch taken from the Kor-Drath: The Awakening Indiegogo campaign page:

Venture forth into the fractured realm of The Shattered Reach, where Kor-Drath, the indomitable warrior and last scion of the Red Lions Tribe, embarks on a quest steeped in destiny. His heart aflame with unyielding love, he is driven to rescue his beloved Adryana’s people of The Black Eagles Tribe from the clutches of Vordoom the Undying, the relentless undead creature whose shadow stretches across the land. Kor-Drath’s path is fraught with peril as he seeks a legendary artifact, the key to obliterating the sinister darkness. Brace yourself for an epic, heart-pounding odyssey brimming with fierce battles, awe-inspiring magic, and twists that will leave you breathless with anticipation!

Backers can get a copy of Kor-Drath: The Awakening for $25. If you have more cash to spend, you can also receive the following tchotchkes and extras:

• Multiple copies of the book
• Variant covers
• A black and white edition
• A Kor-Drath tabletop game module
• Trading cards
• Kor-Drath figurines
• Art commissions
• A collector’s box
• Copies of the first Kor-Drath book if you want to catch up

It is also worth noting that there is an additional shipping charge starting at $10 for those in the United States.
