THE DARING ADVENTURES OF BLACKMARK IN WORDS AND PICTURES !!!

The New Full-Length Action Adventure in Words and Pictures!

First in a Series of Daring Adventures Featuring Blackmark in the Primitive World of the Future!

A peek inside the paperback edition!

Blackmark was conceived & illustrated by Gil (His Name is...Savage!) Kane with an artistic assist by Neal (Batman, Deadman.) Archie (Manhunter) Goodwin came in to write the dialogue. 

Classic Gil Kane's Savage #1 from Fantagraphics!

Another classic, Manhunter #1 by Archie Goodwin & Walt Simonson!

The graphic novel tells the epic tale of Blackmark's rise to power, and the challenges he faces trying to unite a world, torn apart by a cataclysmic war and the following, ruthless, feudalism maintained by selfish lords and wandering bands of warriors, who maintain a stranglehold on the surviving population. 

Blackmark is quite violent, often sexy, and even fun. Gil Kane draws on all sorts of Arthurian and German/Norse mythology, and his arena looks decidedly Roman, but it is all a metaphor with the graphic impact of Tolkein.
