 Rating:  - Graphic SF ReaderAn original graphic novel way back way. An excellent exploration of heroism, mythology and gender by way of the Arthurian mythos. Earth is under the thumb of aliens, and resistance is pretty much non-existent. One man still wants to fight, and the discovery of an ancient site may help him out in a big way. Rating:  - It took years to create this?I had very high hopes for this collection. I had heard that it was a masterpiece, and an important landmark in comic book history. High quality paper, adult themes, ignored the comics code, direct-only market, so on and so forth.... Well, maybe it is a part of comic book history. That doesn't make reading it any more pleasant.

I read it first when I was a boy. I read it still, it gives me joy! Britain falls to alien spoor and Arthur returns to even the score. Gwen and Lance renew their lust. It's hard to know just who to trust. Merlin returns, Excalibur too. This story has a lot for you. If you love Le Morte D'Art In your collection, make this book a part. Rating: - GroundbreakingIt broke new ground. It was one of the first books published on high quality paper and distributed only to the direct market. The first maxiseries in comics history, this book was planned with a beginning, middle and end, much like a prose novel. It also had the freedom to do whatever it wanted with its characters since, despite being published by DC, it was outside of their continuity. It was published without the Comics Code Authority seal and was advertised as a book for mature readers. Thus this ... Read More |
