The graphic novel starts off when young Arthur pulls the legendary sword Caliburn from the stone. Ulric, the current king of Britain, challenges Arthur to a duel at dawn. Arthur accepts. Merlin takes Arthur to the Faerie Realm to train for 2 years and a day. When he gets back Arthur is 17 years old and trained in the art of fighting, kingship, warcraft, and politics. He wins the duel and becomes the king over Britain. King Arthurs evil half- sister Morgana sends Merlin 7 years into the future. When he gets back King Arthur had already married Lady Guinevere and built Camelot. Morgana (Arthurs half- sister) makes an evil replica of King Arthur and challenges the real King Arthur to war. Will King Arthur win and Albion be saved? Read this eye-catching book to find out.
Opinion:
Excalibur was an awesome graphic novel. The pictures make you feel like youre in Albion beside King Arthur. Tony Lee tells the story of king Arthur perfectly. Their work combines to make an ideal graphic novel for young adults. I thought the book was hard to put down. I recommend this to anyone who likes a good action book.
