500 years after the end of the world, barbaric hordes vie for power and plunder, and monstrous, gene-twisted Teratisms stalk the ruined landscape. Queen Terra of the marauding Jerz acquires a new and deadly weapon powerful enough to shatter massive walls. From the north, Warlord Sunder marches with a fearsome host behind Dreadnought, a gargantuan, invincible Teratism over which he has gained control. Caught in the middle is Samson, the strongest man on Earth, sole protector of the struggling N'yark Tribe. At stake is the future of the world! Cover price $3.50.

Volume 1 - 1st printing. Collects Mighty Samson (1964-1976 Gold Key) #1-6. Written by Otto Binder. Art by Frank Thorne and Jack Sparling. In a radioactive, nuclear-ravaged future, Samson is born into a tribe of peaceful yet desperate people struggling to survive in the desolate city of N'Yark. Surrounded by hungry, wild creatures-creatively mutated and brought to life by Thorne and subsequent artists-and the more savage, selfish remnants of humanity, life is precarious at best for the tribe until Samson displays amazing powers. Discovering that young Samson is a mutant himself, his mother trains Samson to value life, and on her deathbed Samson vows "to protect the weak from the powerful, the good from the evil!" This volume collects the first six comic books from the original 1960s Mighty Samson series, with playful and imaginative artwork by Frank Thorne seen in the first five issues! Hardcover, 200 pages, full color. Cover price $49.99.

Volume 2 - 1st printing. Collects Mighty Samson (1964-1976 Gold Key) #7-14. Written by Otto Binder. Art by Frank Thorne and Jack Sparling. With fantastic beasts, savage survivors of a nuclear war, and imaginative artwork by Frank Thorne and Jack Sparling, Mighty Samson Archives volume 2 hits the ground running with nonstop post-apocalyptic adventure and sci-fi fun. Created by prolific writer Otto Binder and artistic titan Frank Thorne, the Mighty Samson's comic-book career lasted for only thirty-two issues, but Dark Horse is bringing the exploits of this daring, one-eyed adventurer to modern audiences in a series of elegant hardcovers! Born into a peaceful yet primitive tribe of N'Yark, in a radioactive future America, Samson learns that he's just as strong and resilient as some of the most vicious, mutated creatures that threaten his tribe. A mutant himself, Samson still vows to protect his defenseless human kin from the dangers around them-and his motto becomes, "To protect the weak from the powerful, the good from the evil!" Hardcover, 216 pages, full color. Cover price $49.99.

In a world of monsters and scavengers, Samson continues fighting his way across a wasted future America, searching for hope and dishing out justice. With his beautiful companion, her brilliant father, and a rogue's gallery of foes, Samson and his team are constantly bombarded with danger! This volume features an introduction by Samson artist Jose Delbo. Hardcover, 224 pages, full color. Cover price $49.99.
