I'm always on the lookout for the unique read, the good idea somebody finally published that isn't cookie cutter...so this was a treat. ARTHUR, KING OF BRITAIN was historic and mythical, interesting for its simpler views of the story before later embellishments. It was influenced by or clearly similar to Prince Valiant and Conan the Barbarian...drawn in b+w in a simply real looking but breezy style. I was initially hooked by the author's intent to represent the work of Geoffrey of Monmouth. The pages where the writer provides editorial/historical comment are equally nice. This was worth the price as a download, although FYI I saw the options included a hardcover book!
