JASON KINGSLEY HAS long counted 1980’s Hawk The Slayer among his most formative films. Now 2000 AD publisher Rebellion – the company he co-founded with his brother Chris Kingsley – has tapped writer Garth Ennis and artist Henry Flint to produce a five-issue comic sequel to the 1980 British fantasy film, in which the titular hero’s team of warriors (including giant Gort, elf Crow and dwarf Baldin) set out to rescue a kidnapped abbess from the clutches of his evil brother Voltan.
VOLTAN AMBITION
“Hawk and his comrades in arms have always been a part of my history, from first watching the movie to re-enacting it in the local woods when I was a boy,” Kingsley tells Red Alert. “We’ve been working with the director, Terry Marcel, on some initiatives related to Hawk’s future, and we both agreed that a comic would be a good way to explore further adventures in that world.”
Ennis also counts Hawk The Slayer among his childhood favourites. “I’ve loved the movie since I saw it aged 11,” he says, “Partly because it was so unlike anything else of its kind and partly because it just works: the story goes in a straight line, the heroes are a memorable and extremely formidable crew, and the villain Voltan is simply fantastic. It accomplishes a great deal with comparatively little.”

Making Alien - Jaws in Space - Forty-five years on from its original release, Alien continues to terrify. We dissect what arguably remains the most chilling instalment in the saga
The seven-strong crew of the commercial mining spacecraft the Nostromo seal their fate after reluctantly responding to a mysterious distress signal on a hostile planet. Here, a face-hugging alien from a derelict ship impregnates and later kills executive officer Kane (John Hurt) after its offspring is birthed onboard. After being unleashed, the fearsome newborn with acid for blood proceeds to dispatch the remainder of the crew.Ridley Scott's much more convoluted prequels have yet to reveal how the knowledge that led to this initial interception was acquired. However, the premise of the original Alien is perfect in its uncomplicated purity.
