Chivalry depicts Mrs. Whitaker, a widower that unknowingly finds the Holy Grail in a charity shop. After cleaning, polishing, and displaying it, she sets it on the her mantle to enjoy.

Sir Galad arrives shortly after, seeking the Grail. When he sees it, he’s overcome because his quest is over. But only if he can convince Mrs. Whitaker to trade for it.

Part comic, illuminated manuscript, the story highlights how an artist can play with the comic format.

A fun read.
