Illustrated by
Mike Collins.
This graphic novel tells of young Arthur before he became king. The story draws from the earliest Arthurian tales and contains details not usually included. The comic-style illustrations ably convey the mystical and magical elements; however the layout is occasionally poorly executed, especially when panels span the two pages of a spread.
