About the Helm Graphic Novel Volume 1 Harbinger

It is an age of steamworks and sorcery, magick and machinery, rancor and revolution. Helm is an Eisner-nominated comic series set in an ancient fantasy world that has undergone an industrial revolution in the past 300 years. Racism and riots run rampant, 'magick-makers' are mercilessly hunted, the elves have all but been eradicated, and rumors of rebellion stir amongst the half-breeds and downtrodden peoples of the Commonwealth. Pursued by the merciless Legion, the mysterious witch Luna Lumere seeks out Eldrick Spellsong, Jr., a college dropout who unknowingly holds the key to unlocking an age-old secret. Together, along with a sundry gang of adventurers, villains, and scoundrels, they will traverse the dark and dangerous world of Helm, in search of the legendary Bastard King, and rouse him from his slumber.
