Description: Hercules Unbound, Issues #1-12 (DC Comics, 1975) COMPLETE RUN. In 1975, DC produced a comic book series titled Hercules Unbound, featuring the adventures of Hercules in a post-apocalyptic future. This Hercules looked different from the other DC interpretations - he had long black hair and no beard. The series lasted 12 issues. It made use of characters and concepts, such as The Atomic Knights and the intelligent animals from Jack Kirby's Kamandi, the Last Boy on Earth series as an attempt to tie in some of the future series. There, this version of Hercules is chained to a rock outcropping in the Mediterranean. He escapes and learns that in the centuries he had been chained by Ares, humans had not only made great scientific progress but also used that same science to destroy the human world by means of nuclear weapons. He wanders the world making friends along the way and battling monsters, mad gods, and warlords that threatened the remaining humans. It climaxed with him saving Olympus from the gods' evil duplicates and, having been deceived by Zeus, deciding to stay in the human world. It closed with him walking away into the night with his girlfriend Jenny. Comic Barcodes (where they appear): 0709893244207, 0709893244209, 0709893244211, 0709893244201, 0709893244203, 0709893244205
