The Dragons Excalibur

The Dragons Excalibur

King Arthur has been overthrown.
Long live King Arthur!

Colin Thompson's zany take on the Court of Arthur returns!

Avalon is approaching the magnificent coronation of the new King Arthur, legendary peace and happiness and, of course, purple tights for all. However, there is a rebellion in the land, Brat, the old false king, and Bloat, a teenage dragon, have vowed to overthrow the lovely wonderful King Arthur and bring back the Dark Ages. But Morgan le Fey and Sir Lancelot and a thirsty vampire will save the day.

Or will they?
