Chivalry is a delightful fantasy short story by Neil Gaiman and illustrated by the talented Colleen Doran.
The story itself is simple: an elderly woman discovers the Holy Grail at a second-hand shop and takes it home. A knight comes questing for the grail and she is unwilling to give it up.
Does everything end up happily ever after for everyone in our tale? Read and see…
I loved the artwork of this story. Doran uses beautiful colors to highlight the art. Some of the pages are done like medieval folios, they were my favorite.
In the notes at the end of the book, Doran shares she wanted to make the whole book like an illuminated manuscript but she discovered that was unworkable. The pages she did do in that style are breath taking.
Highly recommended for fantasy and comic book fans.
