Queen Guinevere gasped in horror as Arthur turned on his heels to leave. He was near to the door when, with a trembling voice, she called out to him, “Fare thee well, my lord.” King Arthur stopped in his stride and he half turned and gazed upon her woeful form with his back to her from the corner of his eye.

Gawain and the Green Knight: Part 1
It is New Year’s Day at King Arthur’s court, and a mysterious knight in green arrives at the holiday feast with a peculiar demand. He challenges anyone present to strike a blow against him with his fearsome great axe – but on the condition that, in one year’s time, he may deliver the same blow in return.
Sir Gawain, a knight of the Round Table, accepts the Green Knight’s challenge. Based on the 14th century Middle English poem and one of the great tales of the Arthurian Legend, Gawain’s story is one of courage and humility rather than feats of arms and physical strength. His honor tested, his loyalty questioned, Gawain leaves Camelot in search of a place called the Green Chapel to keep his end of the Green Knight’s bargain.
Gawain and the Green Knight is a comic adaptation of the Arthurian folktale of the same name, written and illustrated by Emily Cheeseman. It will be posted in four parts, with the goal of publishing a hardcover print edition of the complete story in early 2017.

Officially launching a new comic project! Gawain and the Green Knight is one of my favorite Arthurian stories, and adapting it to webcomic form has been a fun challenge. Pages 1-9 are available online, and the remaining story will be posted in 3 more parts. Reblogs and signal boosts are very appreciated, and I hope you enjoy the story so far. Thanks for reading!!
