Berserk #2

The evil Count uses his dark powers to transform a defeated captain of the guard into an inhuman horror to fight Guts, the Black Swordsman. Puck, the flirtatious fairy no bigger than Guts, is captured while trying to stop the execution of an old doctor and is given as a gift to the Count’s daughter—a sweet girl trapped in a golden cage, imprisoned by her father in her own room. Determined to tear the Count to pieces, Guts storms the castle, carving a blood-soaked path of destruction through the Count’s henchmen. Face to face with the Black Swordsman at last, the Count reveals his true form—and even Guts’ massive sword may not be big enough to contend with this demonic monstrosity.
