The First Kingdom

    (Comics and Comix, 1974-1986, 2005–2006)
©1974 Jack and Carolyn Katz

The distant past, or perhaps the apocalyptic future? This is an epic tale of the fall of civilization, and the struggles of the few human survivors to regain a foothold in a strange and dangerous new world. Unlike most comics, which focus on a single character or team, this story promises to span generations, in the manner of a more conventional novel.

The hero Darkenmoor is destined to found the First Kingdom, but not to live to see its rise or fall. His adversaries include mutated creatures, evil sorcerers, capricious gods, and traitors among his own followers.

The black-and-white illustrations by Jack Katz are stunning in their detail, each scene depicting more than many other comics do in an entire page. The scripting perhaps in an attempt to emulate a more classic style, is at times wordy and confusing.
