Matthew Royale

A creature of the mid-nineties Image Comics boom, Matthew Royale stepped onto the page in 1996's Medieval Spawn / Witchblade #1, brought to life by the formidable pairing of writer Garth Ennis and artist Brandon Peterson. His world is a richly imagined medieval one, populated by the likes of Lord Cardinale, Queen Elinor, and the legendary Witchblade herself — vivid, dangerous company by any measure. Rare appearances make Matthew Royale a quietly intriguing figure for collectors drawn to the darker, sword-and-sorcery corners of the Image universe.
