"Dark Schneider Is Dead! * As the corpse of the now literally heartless wizard lies in state in the great temple of Metallicana, his friends and lovers mourn, and his enemies muster their forces for a final assault on the last surviving kingdom of earth!" "Bastard is acclaimed for its mix of striking artwork, sexy characters, and graphic storytelling. The kingdom of Metallicana is under siege by evil armies of monsters. The desperate defenders turn to a legend that a virgin's kiss may awaken the wizard "Dark Schneider" from his slumber inside the innocent boy Lucien. Thanks to his sister Yoko, Lucien metamorphoses into the powerful, lecherous wizard. With demons, dragons, and other dark forces roaming the land, and Dark Schneider barely under control, the question remains: will Metallicana ever know a lasting peace?": B&W Illustrations .
