Issue description
Alan Moore and Bryan Talbot rocked fandom by revealing Nightjar — their creation
from 23 years ago — in the pages of Yuggoth Cultures #1. Now the story Alan Moore
outlined is continuing on from where he left it two decades ago, this time by his frequent
collaborator, writer Antony Johnston. This is the first series of the continuing saga of
Mirrigan Demdyke, all based on Moore's original notes. Eighteen years ago, Mirrigan
watched her father's heart explode in their backyard. That was fair, because Mirrigan's
father was Emperor of All the Birds, the most powerful sorcerer in Britain, and that was
how they arrange their successions. But on her deathbed, Mirrigan's grandmother reveals
a secret… her father wasn't killed by one sorcerer, but seven, and charges Mirrigan with
an oath to make them pay for their treachery! If you're the latest in a line of powerful
British sorcerers, avenging your father's death should be a walk in the park. Except when
his murderers are even more powerful than you. Now the Seven Birds have a new target...
Mirrigan!
