Many have integrated their own stories and characters with that of The Crow, to provide you with a most unique window into the psyche of a new chronic outlaw. In the collection The Crow: Shattered Lives and Broken Dreams, the genre's finest writers, artists, and poets lend their voice to O'Barr's vision. And much like Elric, Michael Moorcock's Eternal Champion, the Crow is consumed by his own actions, only to be reborn again. The antihero we have come to know, consciously or not, rejects conventional values and ideals to do ultimately what is right-not because he wants to, but because he's fated to do so. What began as a comic book has evolved into a franchise of films, novels, merchandise, and even a new television series.īorn of personal tragedy, the Crow warps together two of man's strongest emotions and desires in love and revenge. It has been nearly two decades since James O'Barr first painted the harlequin mask onto Eric Draven, and thereby conceived one of the most widely recognized gothic archetypes of today.
