Reviews

Wacky, detailed panel art, featuring irreverent commentary and more than a few offhand remarks. * Publishers Weekly *
Of all the innumerable versions of the legend of King Arthur and his knights, this must be the most amusing. * Vermont Sunday Magazine *
Kids just beginning to quest for Arthur will enjoy sharpening their swords on it.
