Faer is a Conan-esque character specifically invented for HDK by the English writer John Reppion (co-author with his wife Leah Moore of masterpiece comics such as Albion and Wild Girl, fresh from collaboration with… Iron Maiden!): Faer the Wanderer is a tribute to the glorious heroic-fantasy paperbacks of the 70s, but with typical vibes of the “dark-age” of American comics of the early 90s.

HDK commissioned the London artist Samuel Allan (already our collaborator for the cover of Cro-man 2: the Curse of the Wizard), to take care of the character design and to create shocking action artwork inspired by John’s subjects; GNOLL finally sprung into action and brought Faer’s adventures to life through music, as usual weaving together brooding synths, dark orchestrations, and tons of sense of wonder.
