 It was also the first comic book series to be printed on Baxter paper instead of newsprint.The series follows the adventures of King Arthur, Merlin and the reincarnated Knights of the Round Table as they reemerge in an overpopulated future world of 3000 A.D. to fight off an alien invasion masterminded by Arthur's old nemesis, Morgan Le Fay.Barr came up with the concept of "Camelot 3000" in approximately 1975, having been inspired by a college course he took in Arthurian literature.
