Publisher's Synopsis

Gil Kane was a comics artist specialising in superheroes who had drawn every major character from Suprman and Spider-Man to Green Lantern and Conan. In 1974 he created 'Blackmark', his attempt to go independent. The first volume of this sword & sorcery/heroic fantasy narrative has been out of print for 25 years, and the completed second valume was never published. Now both volumes are available in a single trade book format, larger than the original paperback size to better showcase Kane's elegant art.

About the Publisher

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books has been a leading proponent of comics as a legitimate form of art and literature since it began publishing the critical trade magazine The Comics Journal in 1976. By the early 1980s, Fantagraphics found itself at the forefront of the burgeoning movement to establish comics as a medium as eloquent and expressive as the more established popular arts of film, literature, poetry, et al. Fantagraphics quickly established a reputation as an advocacy publisher that specialized in seeking out and publishing the kind of innovative work that traditional comics corporations who dealt almost exclusively in super-heroes and fantasy either didn?t know existed or wouldn?t touch: serious, dramatic, historical, journalistic, political, and satirical work by a new generation of alternative cartoonists as well as many artists who gained prominence as part of the seminal underground comix movement of the '60s. Fantagraphics has since gained an international reputation for its literate and audacious editorial standards and its exacting production values.
