King Arthur and the Knights of Justice, Vol. 2 | Exclusive Preview
Today we have an exclusive preview of King Arthur and the Knights of Justice, Vol. 2, by writer Joe Corallo, artist Mandy Chan, and colorist Linden Cahill. These graphic novels, published by Mad Cave’s YA imprint Maverick, are based on the animated television series of the same name, which ran in 1992-93 and puts a time-travel spin on the original legend of King Arthur: In the series, problems in Camelot cause Merlin to whisk a football team called the Knights back in time to become the Knights of the Round Table, led by their quarterback, Arthur King. Here’s what’s happening in Vol. 2:
Arthur King and his knights are back in the sequel to King Arthur and the Knights of Justice. We find Arthur King and the Knights in school, having moved on from the drama of their recent kidnapping in Camelot. But when Gallop gets a new girlfriend and Morgana breaks free in Camelot, Arthur and his teammates find themselves having to become knights once more in order to defend their home world–and Camelot–from the threat of evil magic.
The book, which the publisher rates for grades 7-9, will be published on June 17, but you can get started right here. Enjoy!
