** COMIC BOOKS

** Arthurian Comics

_Camelot 3000_ (DC) Arthur returns to England in 3000 AD to fight an alien
invasion mastermind by Morgan Le Fay.

_Camelot Eternal_ (Caliber) Arthur survived the battle of Badon Hill,
and Modred was captured and brought back to Camelot.  Things continue
as before, and Morgan Le Fay destroys most of the knights.  Volume I
runs eight issues, with the next volume set to begin in a few months.
(It has, however, been delayed for over a year now.)

_Knights of the Pendragon_ (Marvel-UK) the Green Knight (an earth spirit)
and the Pendragon force have infused various people to stop the ecology
destroying Bane.  Includes many Arthurian themes including The Grail,
several of the knights and a mysterious sword.  The series ran 18 issues,
and has since been replaced by Pendragon II.  The first series was very
good, while the second was mostly uninteresting.

_Mage: the Hero Discovered_ (Comico) Kevin Matchstick is evidently an
Arthur reincarnation, as he slowly discovers with the help of Mirth
(the Fisher King), and battles the Umbra Sprite.  A Mage interlude
(Mage II is pending) appeared in Grendel #16-18.  The whole run has
been collected into three volumes by Starblaze graphics.  Mage II may
be released in the next few years.

_Merlin_ (Adventure)

_The Mists of Avalon_ (Eclipse) upcoming adaptation of the MZB novel.

** Short Arthurian mentions in other comics

_All-Star Squadron_ various (DC) World War II super-team, a member of
which was Sir Justin, the Shining Knight, who had been frozen in a magical
iceberg since Arthurian times.  There are various other apperances of the
Shining Knight elsewhere in DC titles, but few even mention the Arthur
connection.  The best issue of All-Star Squadron is his origin issue,
somewhere between #55 and #72.

_Avengers_ #228ish (Marvel) Avengers and new member the Black Knight go to
extra-dimensional Avalon, where they battle the monstrous Fomor.  The
Black Knight is a decendent of Sir Percy (not Percival) of the Round
Table, and his sword is cursed.  Black Knight and this Avalon have
appeared in various other Marvel books.

_Black Knight_ #1-4 (Marvel) more with the Black Knight.

_Brave and the Bold_ #<75 (DC) the Silent Knight; another Arthurian
knight.

dead members of the Defenders super-hero team inhabiting the bodies of
live people to form Dragon Circle.

Ambrose, ruler of extradimensional Avalon.

_Iron Man_ #250 (Marvel) Iron Man and Dr. Doom travel to the future, where
they meet Merlin and a child Arthur reincarnation.  Iron Man formerly
travelled to Arthurian days and spent significant time there, but I don't
know the issue numbers.
