Gawain comic: The Darkest Hour, 13-15

"The next Eastertide Uther told the nobles of his kingdom to assemble in that same town of London, so that he could wear his crown and celebrate so important a feast-day with proper ceremony. They all obeyed, travelling in from their various cities and assembling on the eve of the feast. The King was thus able to celebrate the feast as he had intended and to enjoy himself in the company of his leaders. They, too, were all happy, seeing that he had received them with such affability. A great many nobles had gathered there, men worthy of taking part in such a gay festivity, together with their wives and daughters."
- Geoffrey of Monmouth, The History of the Kings of Britain (ca. 1136)



Mweh. It was a close call again. I was so accident-prone this week that my comics routine got messed up entirely. But I did finish my three pages of the storyboard in the end. And look: we are finally getting to the heart of the matter!

Small announcement:
Next Saturday I will not be able to post. I am leaving for Istanbul that morning. I will be holidaying there for five days :-). When I get back, I will post next week's comic. So the next appointment is Saturday 23 May.

But let's get on with this week's batch...

What went before:
When the Saxon attacks start getting more brutal, Gorlois thinks it is time for the Britons to unit. He rallies to the side of Uther, the new High King, and goes to war. Ygraine and her daughters wait anxiously for his return. Luckily, Gorlois comes back safe and triumphant.
