Hank Morgan runs a munitions and machinery factory in 19th-century Connecticut. He's struck by a crowbar during a dispute with the workers, and wakes up thirteen centuries in the past. A knight from King Arthur's Court takes him prisoner, and Arthur orders him executed. Hank escapes by "predicting" an eclipse and claiming that he could blot out the sun if they executed him.Hank becomes the King's prime minister-a.k.a. The Boss-with a reputation for performing miracles. It makes him a number of enemies, notably the wizard Merlin who doesn't like Hank's new status as Arthur's bestie. Hank doesn't do much to discourage Merlin's resentment, and instead responds by destroying Merlin's tower with explosives and a lightning rod. In the process, he begins confiding in a young man named Clarence, who comes to serve as Boy Wonder to his Batman.Soon after, Hank accompanies the Demoiselle Alisande a la Carteloise-thankfully nicknamed Sandy because that's a mouthful of a name-on a quest to save her mistresses from a band of vicious ogres. As it turns out, the mistresses are nothing but pigs whom the Demoiselle believes are enchanted. Hank plays along by buying the pigs and taking them home.
