| Summary: | "The time has come! For centuries, the legendary figure of King Arthur has served as a shining example of justice and virtue - an avatar of knightly chivalry brought low by the betrayal of his queen and his closest friend. And though he was laid to rest more than a thousand years ago, it has long been whispered that, in England's darkest hour, Arthur would rise again to save The time has come! For centuries, the legendary figure of King Arthur has served as a shining example of justice and virtue - an avatar of knightly chivalry brought low by the betrayal of his queen and his closest friend. And though he was laid to rest more than a thousand years ago, it has long been whispered that, in England's darkest hour, Arthur would rise again to save his nation from destruction. Now that hour has arrived - not just for England, but for the entire Earth! It is the year 3000, and the world is faced with a threat unlike any it has ever seen - a seemingly unstoppable alien race, bent on enslaving humanity. Beaten back by the invaders' superior technology, mankind is on the verge of collapse when a young man stumbles upon an ancient tomb beneath Glastonbury Tor and awakens the long-quiet form Arthur Pendragon. Upon his revival, the past and future King calls up his knights of old - some now clad in strange new forms - and prepares to drive the would-be conquerors back into space. But even with the power of Excalibur in his hand, can Arthur prevail in this new world of technological terrors? Or will the same ancient enemies that brought doom to Camelot in the misty past shatter the Round Table once and for all? For the first time ever, this classic saga of sword, sorcery and science fiction from acclaimed creators Mike W. Barr (Batman: Son of the Demon) and Brian Bolland (Batman: The Killing Joke) is available in a deluxe hardcover edition - complete with never-before-seen artwork from Bolland and an updated introduction from Barr."--Back cover. |
