About the series
In the second chapter of Michael Moorcock's graphic adaptation of his own Eternal Champion cycle, the swordsman Dorian Hawkmoon continues his quest across a far-future Europe ruled by the Dark Empire of Granbretan. This 1987–1988 First Comics miniseries, scripted by Moorcock with Roger Salick and vividly illustrated by Rafael Kayanan, deepens the struggle for the Runestaff as Hawkmoon seeks the legendary Sword of the Dawn. It stands as a key bridge in the saga, bringing the brooding fantasy and cosmic conflict of Moorcock's prose to a new visual medium.
