Description

My new independent comic idea. Inspired by my long love of Arthurian legend (including The Once and Future King), mysteries, and a touch of the Brother Cadaefel mysteries; this proposed series combines high fantasy with great mysteries and adventures, with a tad bit of social commentary.

It is the time of King Arthur; a Golden Age where Right Makes Might and the King's Law protects all. Unfortunately, certain groups such as Pagans and Jews are not always protected. At the same time, there are many great intrigues abounding in this magical England. Merlin himself has been missing for five years after being banished from Camelot; supposedly Nimue, the Lady of the Lake, has sealed him into a rock.

In the town of Hollyfold stands the abbey of St. George. At that abbey lives a peculiar monk named Brother Ambrose. One day, he saves three Jewish orphans and takes him into his care. There they learn a secret about him; and a murder soon happens within the abbey.

Brother Ambrose was once known by another name, but that secret will remain with three children who will become his students, assistants, and friends.

Expect some appearances by famous members of the Arthurian sagas in later installments, this first issue sets up certain characters and gets our first mystery going.

Story and script belongs to me, Daniel Kalban.

(Any artists willing to take a stab? ;) )

For some reason, it tells me I don't have PDF support in Firefox, but I do. Could you just send me the PDFs of this and your other stuff?
