On Wednesday April 1, AHOY Comics will publish BABS: THE BLACK ROAD SOUTH #3, the third issue of the violently funny sword-and-sorcery epic from Garth Ennis—the award-winning writer of Hitman, The Punisher, Sara and Marjorie Finnegan, Temporal Criminal, and co-creator of The Boys and Preacher—and acclaimed artist and frequent collaborator Jacen Burrows (Crossed, The Ribbon Queen). After making waves last year with BABS—the fantasy adventure romp featuring the sharp-tongued and sharper-sworded barbarian Babs—Ennis, Burrows, and Syracuse-based publisher AHOY Comics are back for more carnage and comedy in BABS: THE BLACK ROAD SOUTH. The six-issue action comedy mini-series will find Babs and her partner-in-barbarism Izzy in a brand-new adventure after a win in a gladiator arena lands them an unexpected windfall—with even more unexpected consequences.

Cover A: Jacen Burrows

On their quest down the demon-cursed Black Road South, Babs and Izzy face murderous creatures, a murderous hobbit who’s into bondage, and a couple of particularly murderous, impossible-not-to-mock examples of cosmetic surgery attached to a narcissistic swordswoman! Is all of this stress worth the treasure that might await at road’s end? Of course. It’s treasure!
