Titan Comics has announced a new entry in the Hawkmoon epic, Hawkmoon: The Mad God, which adapts Michael Moorcock’s novel The Mad God’s Amulet. Today, The Beat can exclusively reveal the cover art for issue #1, which reintroduces the epic in comics form.
Written by Jérôme Le Gris with art by Benoît Dellac and Luca Bulgheroni, Hawkmoon: The Mad God is set in a post-apocalyptic era featuring both ancient tech and dark magic. Here’s the full synopsis:
Set in a post-apocalyptic age of primitive industrialist technology and futuristic dark magic, Europe has been conquered by the tyrannical Granbretan empire led by King-Emperor Huon.
Dorian Hawkmoon faces a race against a ticking clock to gain control over the black jewel embedded in his head and his only hope comes in the form of a hermit mage in a distant land. It is up to the Duke and a few strange allies to thwart the cult’s twisted beliefs and find the mage to allow Dorian Hawkmoon to lead the fight against the Granbretan Empire.
Issue #1 features main cover art by Claudia Caranfa and variants by Dellac and Norm Konyu. Check out all five covers, including a text-free variant of Caranfa’s main cover, below.
Hawkmoon: The Mad God #1 will be available at your local comic shop on October 7. Pre-orders are available now.
