''[[Joe the Barbarian]]'' is an eight-issue comic book limited series written by [[Grant Morrison]] and drawn by Sean Murphy. It was published in 2010-2011 by [[Vertigo Comics]], an imprint of American company [[DC Comics]].
Joe is a teenage boy with Type 1 diabetes. When his blood sugar drops and he enters a state of hypoglycemia, he begins to hallucinate, and enters a fantasy world populated with his toys and other fantasy characters. Here he becomes embroiled in a war with King Death, while in the real world he searches for a soda to fix his blood sugar. He knows there is one in the kitchen downstairs, but it is extremely far away, made farther by his medical condition affecting his mobility.
