The Darkest Hour, 7-9

I've had a very busy weekend, so it's another quick update.

This week: a page with little text, a page with no text, and a page with a lot of text. Don't say this comic has no variation ;-)!

The story will be advancing quickly from here. The plot is not my own, but Geoffrey of Monmouth's (he died in 1155, just so you know where to situate him), so there is quite a bit of action, violence, heartache and all-round tragedy as opposed to my trademark thoughtful silliness. It's Geoffrey seasoned with Ampersand sauce, of course; I'm not just copying :-). For one thing, Gorlois is younger than Geoffrey would have him. And Ygraine is a Faerie.

More next weekend!

The Darkest Hour, 4-6

I posted this update elsewhere first, and apparently it confuses readers... Maybe I should explain the structure:

- Intro (Klingsor Enters Fortress, Chats Up Ygraine)
- Title (The Darkest Hour)
- Flashback (The Story of Gorlois and Ygraine)
(- To come: return to Ygraine and Klingsor)

If I did my job properly, this should all be self-evident, but it seems I have been lacking in something with these pages. Should I use special frames or something to make it clearer that page 6 is the beginning of a flashback episode? Suggestions are welcome!

Incidentally, I have made tags by title. "The Darkest Hour" has its own label, and the previously posted part of the story gets the label "Sunrise".

The Darkest Hour, 1-3

Hello hello and welcome to what is actually the beginning of my story :-). Sorry if it's confusing! I thought I could skip this part of the story for the time being, but I can't. So I went back in time to bring you the story that is at the origin of everything that will be happening to Gawain. And it has a title! :D
