Hello my dearest fans,
I'm glad that today finally the day arrived where I show you a long prepared surprise for my followers: the MediEvil comic!!!
You read right, for over one year I've prepared this comic just for you!!

Up to now, for the next 55 days I'll upload a page daily (yes, so many I made ). This first chapter is "only" the prologue, I'll tell my own version of the war of Gallowmere and Sir Daniel's death. Then we'll see if this project is good enough for being continued.

I need to tell that this was lots of work, preparation, reading and studying. I will not just tell the story of Medievil, but I want also share my knowledge about the middle ages and the hebrides. So I consider you always to read also the descriptions if you want to learn more  
This comic will also have some music I'll put in the description, just to give you the right feeling for this.

Please apologize some mistakes and the boring panel version in the prologue chapter, but I'm not a professional comic drawer and have still much to learn. Of course there are some mistakes, but I tried my best and put all my heart into the drawings, I hope they please you anyway

A few answers which might be interesting for you:

-> Is this a comic about Medievil1 and MediEvil 2?
While working on this comic I decided to mix MediEvil 1 and MER. Both games gave me inspiration and ideas which I would like to realize. First I just wanted to use a clear MER style but later I decided to please also the fans of the original game, so nobody will be disappointed (I hope!) I think a mix of these two will be fun, and I decided to pick out the best of both. I'll also give a personal design to some characters
I won't do a comic about ME2.

-> Can I request you a comic for me?
No, sorry I can't do this. This comic already was lots of work and I have no time to do another comic at the same time, I'm sorry.

-> Do you take requests for the comic itself, for example letting appear my Oc together with Sir Dan?
No, I can't even do this! I have an own plot for the story and some things would confuse too much or making the story longer without reason. Of course I'll add some puns or gags or do little cross overs with other fandoms of mine but this will be rare

-> Could you draw a comic for me based on my fanfiction?
Nope, I refuse such ideas. 

-> This comic is black and white. But I prefer seeing colors. Will you color it?
- I decided to keep it black and white to change my style a little. The comic will remain like this, because I think it fits good! ^^


>>>Note: The story of MediEvil sets in Gallowmere, a fictional island of the Hebrides, Scotland in the years 1286 and 1386.<<<
For the backgrounds I often used pictures of the landscape of the Isle of Skye. Sir Dan will also think in scots, but talk in English

The plot: 
Sir Daniel Fortesque was an excellent storyteller and created  stories and lies of heroic deeds he in reality never did. But King Peregrine believed in these stories and was impressed by Daniel's heroism, so that he knighted him. Sir Daniel also became the leader of the royal guard. But in reality Dan was a coward and never fought dragons or did other brave things... .
The sorcerer Zarok -formerly the king's court magician- wants to take revenge on the king and rule the kingdom of Gallowmere. Sir Daniel -despite he has absolutely no skills- has to lead the royal army in the war. The cowardly knight falls a few seconds after the war started and gets buried later like "a hero like him deserves ", because the people believe Fortesque killed the sorcerer and saved Gallowmere and the king. During the time lots of legends were created to show Sir Dan as a true hero.
Hundred years later Zarok returns and rises an army of the dead to invade Gallowmere another time. Unfortunately the spell wakes up Sir Daniel too and so takes the chance to stop the sorcerer and to become a true hero.
