| | Camelot 3000 and Beyond: An Annotated Listing of Arthurian Comic Books Published in the United States 1980-1998 |
 | | In 1988, Excalibur was drawn again, when Marvel Comics released Excalibur Special Edition, 1987 in bookshelf format with a story entitled "The Sword is Drawn." Created by writer Chris Claremont and artist Alan Davis, the characters in Excalibur draw upon their shared experience as X-men and on the traditions of the Arthurian legend. |
 | | The Batman of the Tangent universe fights crime in the present day city of London, but he is actually a suit of armor animated by the spirit of the Arthurian era Sir William, who was cursed by Merlin to remain imprisoned within his castle until he can atone for his actions against King Arthur. |
 | | As I discovered, most Arthurian enthusiasts are aware of DC Comics' maxi-series, or the trade paperback, of Camelot 3000 by Mike W. Barr and Brian Bolland, and Matt Wagner's MAGE: The Hero Discovered but other than that, the remainder of the Arthurian themed comic books have been largely neglected in the scholarly literature. |
