The original maxi-series was way ahead of it's time in many respects. I thought this series was a lot of fun and the Brian Bolland artwork is fantastic. A companion piece/sequel to Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte D'Arthur (as Mike W. Barr stated at the end of the first issue) it combines Arthurian knights and futuristic sci-fi works incredibly well.

One of the first maxis I remember reading. Definitely high quality and very progressive stuff. So glad to see this concept return in Justice League 3000.

I agree the ideas in the story are very progressive for the time. A man trapped in a woman's body & a girl on girl kissing scene seem way ahead of their time for the 80's.

Yeah it was neat to see King Arthur and Guinevere appear briefly in Justice League 3000 #10.

Early 80's at that.

By the late 80's that type of provocative content was becoming more common in comic books (especially DC's) but arguably Tristan and Isolde's romance in Camelot 3000 was one of the precedents for that.
