Grognak the Barbarian is a perk magazine in Fallout 4.

Background

Grognak the Barbarian is a series of comic books published by Hubris Comics in the mid-21st century. The comic books relate the adventures of the titular character in a prehistoric world.

Characteristics

The magazines consist of a 10-issue run that each give you an additional rank of the Barbarian perk, which raises the critical damage of unarmed or melee attacks by 5%. This stacks together to gain up to a 50% increase in melee or unarmed critical damage, if all comics have been found.

Notes

Issue #09 "In the Lair of the Virgin Eater" is the same comic book that was the cover of all Grognak the Barbarian comics featured in Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas.
There are actually 11 Grognak the Barbarian comics to find across The Commonwealth, as Issue #05 "Demon Slaves, Demon Sands" has 2 copies one in Vault 75 and one rewarded for the quest "Short Stories". Regardless if you gather all 11 or miss an issue you will get the perk "Barbarian" ranked ten levels. However, getting 2 copies of "Demon Slaves, Demon Sands" will not rank you ten levels if you get them before getting all the others. All separate issues are needed to rank 10 in the Barbarian perk.
In addition to the magazines Grognak's axe and costume are located within the Hubris Comics building.
