King Arthur & the Ladies of the Lake by Vincent Pompetti
A fantastical reimagining of King Arthur's life, King Arthur & the Ladies of the Lake by Vincent Pompetti depicts Arthur's story form his young childhood until his death. Mentored throughout his life by Merlin, a powerful wizard, Arthur traverses a world changing because of a new faith that is suspicious of his. This particular King Arthur narrative has an impressive focus on the women who surrounded Arthur and Merlin. Mixing history and fantasy, Pompetti weaves a complex tale.
While at times the drama is a more nuanced than compelling, throughout Pompetti's masterful artwork is on display. The water colors are moving, poignant, and striking. They are the true strength of this graphic novel.
