The age of chivalry is pretty wild
It 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.
