Berserk
Volume 2

Guts, the brooding hero of this dark sword-and-sorcery adventure, learns that military prowess must often give way to politics. Guts and Griffith, the leader of the mercenary troop the Band of the Hawk, challenge Zodd the Immortal, a bloodthirsty creature who may be a monster--or a god. Success on the battlefield wins Griffith the respect of the King of Midland, who rewards the valiant commander with the title of count.
