The Bardic Verses are the stories of Martiln Swordhand, son of legendary warrior Searoar Swordhand. Instead of picking up a sword and becoming a warrior like his father before him, Martiln chose a lute and became a bard; a singer/storyteller. 

An 80 page love letter to traditional comics, tabletop RPGs, and sword and sorcery books. The stories within pay tribute to noir comics, Disney movies, Bill Watterson, Ryan Ottley, Rob Liefeld, Jack Kirby, and more!
