An accalimed masterpiece from Howard V. Chaykin and Michael Moorcock, this adult fantasy tale features Urlik Skarsol, an incarnation of the Eternal Champion. Reincarnated as Lord Clen of Clen Gar, a knight from the Dream Marches, he brandishes the soul-drinking black sword as he serves as protector of Heaven.

Over the centuries, his people have defended the louche elite above from the desperate savages of the acid Hell below. But as a final confrontatio begins, Clen has one final secret. Onne which will determine the uncertain future of his world.

Written and illustrated by Howard Chaykin this volume features the original epic tale in its entirety, and includes the original 1979 introduction by Michael Moorcock, an all-new foreword by acclaimed writer Cullen Bunn (Uncanny X-Men, Deadoppol), and an in-deapth essay by Moorcock historian John Davey.
