Knights of the Lunch Table

In this Scholastic graphic novel series from 2008 to 2011, artist and writer Frank Cammuso reimagines the Arthurian legend as a modern-day middle school comedy. The three-issue run introduces Artie King, a new kid at Camelot Middle School whose knack for solving problems with his wits—and a mysterious, powerful lunchbox—draws him into a lighthearted battle of wits with the school bully. Cammuso’s energetic, cartoon-style art and clever dialogue make this a fun, accessible entry point for young readers new to comics.
