Summary
Earth is being threatened by an alien invasion in (you guessed it!!!) the year 3000! A young man named Tom finds himself stumbling across the tomb of King Arthur and drawn into the task of reassembling the reincarnated knights of the Round Table to battle this threat.

My Thoughts (with potential spoilers!)
This series was originally released in comic book form in the early 1980′s. So it was ready for absorbing by the time I came out of the closet in 1987.

Again, it was one of the things that I rediscovered in my Vegas move and reading it now reminded me of its melodramatic sincerity. But of course, the real sell for me is the storyline of Sir Tristan, who very unhappily finds himself reincarnated into the body of a petite babe. He struggles with his obvious issues innate to his sexism and proving his self-worth in this new body.

But things become a little more complicated when he discovers that the love of his past-knightly life, the beautiful Isolde, is also reincarnated… (yes you guessed it again!!!) a woman!
