The cult-favorite 1980s film Hawk the Slayer will return in 2022 — not as a film sequel, yet as a comic publication from The Boys and Preacher writer/co-creator Garth Tennis.
A six-issue Hawk the Slayer comic book series by Tennis and musician Henry Flint (Court Dread) will debut April 13 from Rebellion, publishers of the seminal British sci-fi anthology 2000 AD.
Hawk the Slayer is a British sword as well as sorcery flick starring Jack Balance and John Terry alongside a host of distinctive post-Star Wars as well as Conan the Barbarian style quirks such as titans, fairies, as well as mind swords. Originally drubbed in cinemas, the British flick came to be a cult favorite thanks to video clip rental shops and cable television.
I have a tendency to think about Hawk the Slayer as being its own strange monster, Tennis tells Nerdiest regarding the comic adaptation. I pointed out that I like the flick due to the fact that it differs others of its kind; the very same will with any luck be real of the comic. It s likewise worth mentioning that I m not actually all that accustomed to various other comics in this category — I ve never had much interest in Conan, for circumstances, which I discover rather humorless as well as prefaced whether as publication, movie, or comic. The exception would certainly be the old black & white Slain in 2000 AD, which I m still a big fan of, but it s extremely various to Hawk the Slayer in the very first location.

The director/co-writer of the original Hawk the Slayer movie, Terry Marcel, indicators off on Tennis and Flint s take on his movie, claiming For me, this is a wonderful homage to the film and actually delivers on my expectations. Garth and Henry have actually really done justice to the movie, and also it s wonderful to see Hawk as well as his buddies back in action.
Hawk the Slayer 1 (of 6) takes place sale on April 22, 2022.
