Sir Gawain: Witch of the Wirral

New 4-page risograph comic in Bright Red on nice 170gsm Munken Lynx Rough paper. It also folds out on the reverse as a poster (a large drawing of Gawain leaving Camelot).

Now available to purchase here!

This is the first in my series of short comics chronicling the further adventures of Sir Gawain, brave Knight of the Round Table. The brilliant, anonymous medieval poet behind the epic Middle English poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight described Gawain’s journey north to meet the fearsome Green Knight in a cursory few dozen lines. We briefly learn that our hero faced many perils along his way, including bears, giants, wild men of the woods, and all kinds of trials of nature. I’m filling in that part of the story with a series of standalone comics, in print and online, following Gawain’s many adventures as he crosses an ancient, mythic, and strange Britain full of monsters and magic.
