In the last segment we focused on comics that were basically movie adaptations. Now we can leave Hollywood behind and look at seven other Sinbad comics that range from Richard Corben’s Heavy Metal serial to a Sword & Planet version from Bluewater. All bets are off as comic creators find something different to do with the traditional tales of the man who took seven incredible journeys.
