“HISTORY REPEATS”
In the year 2020, the immortal Vandal Savage sees his beloved humanity threatened by another hostile species. This, he understands, is literally what he has been fighting against for nearly 50,000 years. And he is prepared. For, he recalls, he has met this particular threat before. Long, long ago... in the Pytharian Age... when he was known as King Vandar Adg!
Beware! For a curse has cometh upon the Kingdom! Star-shaped demons have attached themselves to the faces of our brothers and sisters, compelling them towards wickedness and dark deeds! His Majesty the King has ordered a quarantine! Stay in your dwelling and protect yourselves at all costs!
As many are possessed, one young warrior finds himself immune to the mental enslavement. Valcan, nicknamed Claw because of a deformed and demonic hand, already has experience with another entity influencing his mind and is uniquely equipped to resist. With sword at the ready, only he can save his people from this new threat known as Starro the Conqueror! In a time before he embarked upon his epic quest (see CLAW THE UNCONQUERED #1-4), see how the fabled barbarian swordsman first earned the nickname “the unconquered”!

“KINGDOM OF STARRO”
Long ago, in the Pytharian Age...
The great Castle Illumines has fallen, but the immortal King Vandar Adg (Vandal Savage), along with a handful of his elite royal guardsmen, retain their mental freedom... thanks entirely to a barbarian with a demon hand known to them only as Claw! This mysterious swordsman has proven immune to and “unconquered” by the demonic starfish spores plaguing the land - yet he now finds himself surrounded and hopelessly outnumbered, protecting a ruler for whom he has no love.
Their only hope, so says the King, lies in their ability to fight their way to the royal dungeons. Therein, Vandar has been detaining a prisoner who may possess the requisite power needed to aid the unlikely fellowship in defeating Starro. Once a humble migrant shepherd, this prisoner became a powerful and headstrong wizard... and thus a threat to Vandar’s reign. His name is Mamaragan, though you might know him better by the magic word he uses to empower himself. Against all odds, Claw must find and liberate this captive wizard while also convincing him, in the name of the greater good, to speak the word that may be humanity’s salvation: SHAZAM!

“DC&D”
Then: The enemy came from the stars, just as once a meteorite that made Vandar Adg immortal did. To stop the vile star demon, an unlikely fellowship must embark on a most epic quest. A warrior, a wizard, a thief, a priest, and a kingtravel to the stars in the maw of a great dragon. This journey, Claw senses, may determine the fate of the world...
Now: Vandal Savage is nearly as old as the human race, and in his mind has many times saved it from extinction. As a warlord, he led nascent humanity on its campaign for dominance against the Neanderthals. And as an ancient king, he and a party of adventurers fended off an invasion from a lesser Star Conqueror. Since then he’s been preparing his lineal descendants - metahumans - to repel similar threats. Now he is pursuing the Justice League into space to slay Starro and its hordes with his children... but one of them has a demon-like hand! Who is this new “Claw,” and what is his connection to the hero of the Pytharian Age?

“ENDGAME”
Then: The mysterious Claw was the answer. Something within his demon hand killed the alien spores... but half of those people possessed by the creature also died. The Kingdom ruled by the man who would one day be known as Vandal Savage was badly wounded... yet Pytharia’s King still lived. Renewing his vow to never let humanity be conquered by alien life, Savage wants the weapon that ended the threat. Too bad it’s attached to Claw’s arm!
Now: Thousands of years have passed, but Vandal Savage never forgot the threat. Something in the Claw kills Starros, and the cursed hand is passed on genetically. That’s why Vandal created a clone, a combination of the original Claw’s DNA and his own. This new metahuman Claw has the power needed to end the threat of Starro forever - he just needs to get through the Flash, Steel, and Batman!
And aboard Savage’s starship, the Enûma Eliš, a cryogenic chamber opens... and from out of history, the original Claw the Unconquered enters the fray!
