Acursian is the first comic featuring John Barrowman, who stars in the
comic as Charlie, from his many on-screen roles, including as Captain
Jack Harkness on Torchwood and Doctor Who.
In addition to John Barrowman, the series features a creative team that
includes Carole Barrowman, John's older sister, as well as Erika
Lewis, who has previously collaborated with the Barrowman siblings as a
producer on G4's "Attack of the Show!" Acursian also features art by
Beni Lobel as well as designs by Tommy Lee Edwards.
Starring John Barrowman, Acursian is a time-traveling magical journey
set between 1745 and present day that follows Charlie Stewart, a
dislikeable lawyer whose bloodline is cursed by the Gods after Charlie's
ancestor, Prince Charles Edward Stewart, makes a deal with Bregon, the
god of war. The exchange quickly backfires with Bregon stealing three
talismans from his sisters, the goddesses of fate and time, and a battle
soon ensues. Until the talismans are returned, the three sisters can no
longer control fate and time, and Charles Edward Stewart and his
descendants are cursed to lose everything on their 40th birthdays
