The age of chivalry is pretty wild
9 Apr 2024 10:23 amIt occurs to me that Chrétien de Troyes's and Robert de Boron's Arthurian romances would all make pretty good serialized comics. They are already highly episodic and at times a bit silly, to put it mildly. (I've finished both collections now and am reading Marie de France and the Mabinogion, among other, non-medieval stuff.)
I know Prince Valiant is in existence and actually is a very (!) long-running Arthurian chivalry adventure comic. However, not having read Prince Valiant, just admired the beautiful artwork (some examples can be seen in my post on The Visual Genealogy of He-Man and She-Ra) , I am still pretty confident it isn't very similar. It could hardly avoid being more logical and continuous unless it deliberately took a medieval romance for source and determined to follow it faithfully.
