“Once more the black sword is to be drawn. Again, as before, it is a time for blood and iron!” An acclaimed masterpiece from Howard V. Chaykin and Michael Moorcock, this adult fantasy tale features Ulrik Skarsol, an incarnation of the Eternal Champion. Reincarnated as Lord Clen of Clen Gar, a knight of the Dream Marches, he brandishes the soul-drinking black sword as he serves as protector of Heaven. Over the centuries, his people have defended the louche elite above from the desperate savages of the acidic Hell below. But as a final confrontation begins, Clen has one final secret. One which will determine the uncertain future of his world. Written and illustrated by Howard Chaykin this volume features the original epic tale in its entirety, and includes the original 1979 introduction by Michael Moorcock, an all-new foreword by acclaimed writer Cullen Bunn (Uncanny X-Men, Deadpool), and an in-depth essay by Moorcock historian John Davey. “This is a classic romp from two masters of the form, painted with all the verve of Chaykin in his prime and a treat for fantasists and flowers of exotic, erotic fantasy.” – Comics Review “It still ranks as a highlight of Chaykin’s career. It is beautifully composed, drawing on the influences that Moorcock admired so much.” – The Slings and Arrows

In a post-apocalyptic world where sorcery and science live side by side, the Dark Empire of Granbretan, formerly Great Britain, has risen from the ashes of nuclear Armageddon to become the mightiest empire the world has ever known. Now under the despotic rule of the immortal King-Emperor Huon, the empire is expanding its diabolical reach across what was once Europe. Against the backdrop of political intrigue, arcane magic, flying machines and high adventure, one man, Dorian Hawkmoon, the Duke of Koln, leads a rebellion to stop Huon’s evil once and for all. As a prelude to the 2019 publication of The Sword and the Runestaff, the legendary unpublished second volume of The Chronicles of Hawkmoon, Titan are proud to present this very special edition, which collects together the first two chapters: ‘The Jewel in the Skull’ and ‘The Crystal and the Amulet’ for the first time ever. Adpated and drawn by the critically acclaimed writer James Cawthorn. Taken as a whole, these chronicles mark the first time that the work of science fiction and fantasy author Michael Moorcock had ever been adapted, and heralded the birth of the modern graphic novel genre. The first two stories – ‘The Jewel in the Skull’ (1979) and ‘The Crystal the Amulet’ (1986) – set the gold standard benchmark for science fantasy, and the publication of next year’s final chapter – ‘The Sword and the Runestaff’ – will finally see the culmination of Cawthorn and Moorcock’s grand vision and mark the conclusion of a saga 40-years in the telling. “Unforgettable action and intrigue… a must-read for any fans of science fiction, sorcery or sword-and-sorcery epics.” – Comics Bulletin “A classic repackaging of a classic tale! 5 out of 5.” – Comics Spectrum
