Legends of Camelot: Sir Balin and the Dolorous Stroke

In the late 1990s, Caliber Press launched this Arthurian one-shot from writer Jeff Limke and artist Michael Peters, a standalone exploration of Sir Balin’s tragic tale. It distills the knight’s fateful, sorrowful blow from Thomas Malory’s Le Morte d’Arthur into a single, moody comic issue. A compact entry in the publisher’s Legends of Camelot series, it matters for giving a lesser-known, doom-laden chapter of the Round Table myth its own focused, illustrated treatment.
