Hawkmoon: The Mad God’s Amulet

    (First, 1987)
™ and ©1987 First Comics, Inc. and Star*Reach Productions

On the run from the evil Dark Empire of Granbretan, young duke Dorian Hawkmoon and his trusty companion Oladahn take refuge in the beautiful, empty city of Soryandum, finding its tranquillity too appealing to resist.

But when agents of the empire catch up with them, the only way to save themselves is by doing a favor for the city’s ghostly inhabitants, who can’t fight the empire’s plans to raze their home and build an air combat center. Problem is, that little favor might get the duo killed as well, and in a much nastier way than the simple execution the empire has waiting for them.

Scripted by Gerry Conway with art by Rafael Kayanan, this was the second of three limited series adapting History of the Runestaff, a novel by influential fantasy author Michael Moorcock. The first part was presented in The Jewel in the Skull, and the third in The Sword of the Dawn.

A tight, smooth adaptation of one of the more adventure-filled novels in Moorcock’s eternal champion cycle.
