“Arthur and Lancelot: The Fight for Camelot”
“You have made a mockery of the rules of chivalry.”

Very good series giving a generalised overview of the predominant myths and legends that have shaped our worldviews.- - -

A tale of jealousy causing friends to fight.

I found this story interesting, could have contained more detail / been better structured

Reading time around thirty minutes.

This volume, although not bad, is the worst one out of the 19 I've read so far in this series of 28. While it's a great adaptation, (within its length constraints) the presentation can be very confusing and sometimes misleading. I got confused, I mixed up some characters and sometimes believed they were saying completely contradictory things.

I can't decide who the best artist in the series is so
Thomas Yeates the best male (and the most prolific) and Anne Timmons is the best female artist

I won't say much about this comic, just that as much as I loved the drawings (really gorgeous) the story was too disconnected. The comic wanted to narrate the story of Lancelot & Guinevere but it just ended illustrating some of the scenes between them (not as lovers, just as friends) in a disconnected sort of way, until the end (no spoilers here!). I would have probably preferred an unique story.
