Prince Valiant Hc Peril Of The Round Table 1

Published by Fantagraphics

(W) Paul S. Newman (A) Bob Fujitani (CA) Bob Fujitani It was a singular honor when Bob Fujitani was tapped to draw the comic book adaptation of Prince Valiant, the big-budget 20th Century-Fox movie starring Robert Wagner. No one had ever before been permitted to draw Hal Foster’s classic. Then Fujitani and veteran scripter Paul S. Newman were asked to do another — and another — until they had completed a solid run of six more original issues. Now, unseen after more than 70 years, Fantagraphics returns this rare run of all seven Prince Valiant comic books to print for the first time. Prince Valiant: Peril of the Round Table features seven spectacular adventures, with all the scope, majesty, and chivalry of the thrilling days of King Arthur. Follow Valiant as he starts out as a squire to a knight of the Round Table and falls in love, only to see his beloved Aleta betrothed to another. Six more high-adventure quests and battles round out this volume, all lovingly restored from the original printings for a new generation of readers.

Beautifully, meticulously designed and produced with the full participation of the Murphy family, this series is a testament to author and Prince Valiant historian Brian M. Kane’s research prowess and determination to bring Foster’s aesthetic and storytelling strategies to light. Over the course of these volumes, Kane annotates with painstaking clarity and thoroughness 366 penciled layout pages, 40 character sketches, and 577 text pages of Foster’s descriptions of each panel. Also featured are an additional 143 pieces of art, mostly by Foster, 100 photographs detailing his life and career, and 123 personal letters and notes, all adding immeasurably to this exploration of Foster’s life and art, as well as his collaboration with Murphy.

New Comic - Medieval from Neil Kleid and Alex Cormack

Lots of information on the upcoming series Medieval from co-creator Neil Kleid.

There are some images and links at https://buttondown.com/neilkleid/archive/announcingmedieval-and-where-to-find-neil-at-new/.

The main book page is at https://www.neilkleidbooks.com/books/medieval. I've pulled the series info from here.



Medieval

Co-authored with Alex Cormack, Edited by Sarah Litt. Released via Comixology Originals
For Mature Readers

A New York baseball fan in King Arthur’s Court. The Arthurian Cycle is demolished by a time-lost, bat-wielding Jewish plumber trying to find his way back to present-day NYC. Beer, baseball, Bronx, Britain.

After being hit by a line drive, baseball fan Danny Landau wakes up in sixth-century England, out of time with no skills other than a knack for construction and a penchant for violence. After spending a year drinking and fighting, seeking a way back to his girl and New York, Danny’s unique form of loud-mouthed chivalry—and “The Babe,” his custom-designed iron bat—gains the attention of Arthur’s Knights of the Round Table, bringing him helm-to-boot with Arthur, Lancelot, and Merlin, the notoriously wily magician who may just have Danny’s ticket home.

The Vulgate Lancelot takes a vulgar turn as Arthur of Camelot and Danny from the Bronx—a beer-swilling, bat-wielding Jewish knight—vie for the same girl in this violent, mature, original comic about an irreverent, would-be, time-lost hero ready to go fu[CENSORED]ng medieval in order to find his girl…and a way back home.

Loud, brash, boisterous and over the top, with this violent, mature original comic Kleid takes a swing at something very different and out of his wheelhouse and hits a home run with Medieval, his most brutal, bloody, and vulgar – yet still emotionally grounded—comic series to date.


HOW TO GET MEDIEVAL:

Currently, Medieval will only be available to read on a digital device:

1. PREORDER the issues on Amazon (Issue #1 debuts on November 11th, 2025)

2. DOWNLOAD the Amazon Kindle app on your mobile device.

3. On November 11th, READ your digital copy in the Kindle app on your mobile device.

Medieval Studies as a Public Good

Jonathan F. Correa Reyes

This introductory essay argues that Public Humanities frameworks can help medievalists re-establish our credibility with publics beyond the academy and embrace more collaborative models of knowledge production. Extending our reach beyond academic institutions will help us demonstrate the value of medieval studies as a public good. (JFCR)


From Chile to Camelot: Reception of the Arthurian Arc of Mampato and Ogú

Jonathan F. Correa Reyes and Camila Gutiérrez

This essay analyzes how the Arthurian arc of the Chilean comic Mampato and Ogú challenges the neocolonial rhetorics that cast Chile as a stagnant country, and how it afforded Chileans an opportunity to participate in a global cultural current of Arthurian adaptations. We discuss the meanings that the Arthurian motifs may have acquired during two very different political atmospheres: the years preceding Salvador Allende's democratic election and the onset of Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship.

Unexpected Swords in the Stone

Brenna Duperron

The Arthurian legends are well-known for their knights-in-shining armour, quests, chivalry, supernatural encounters, and of course, swords being pulled out of stones. The use of the 'sword-in-the-stone' trope allows the 21st century superhero films to play with and reinvent the implications of a 'true right to rule,' and the bodies that are expected to fill those roles.

For fans of Critical Role and the original King Arthur and the Knights of Justice cartoon, this sequel finds the fantasy world of Camelot entering our own real world. A tale of leadership, forgiveness, swords, and sorcery, this tale asks how you can forgive your friends even when they’ve deeply harmed you.

Arthur King and his knights are back in the sequel to King Arthur and the Knights of Justice. We find Arthur King and the Knights in school, having moved on from the drama of their recent kidnapping in Camelot. But when Gallop gets a new girlfriend and Morgana breaks free in Camelot, Arthur and his teammates find themselves having to become knights once more in order to defend their home world–and Camelot–from the threat of evil magic.
