Medieval promo with art by Alex cormack in the background showing the lead on a horse with his baseball bat - in the front is a Kindle Colorsoft in black featuring a page from the Medieval comic book. The medieval logo is at the top in white and in blue it says “he’s stuck in Camelot without his phone, without his girl, and without a way back home. Now to get to New York baseball fan Danny Landau is going #$%ing” which then leads into the medieval logo. Under that is says in blue and red, "Five issues of mature-readers Arthurian baseball comics from Neil Kleid, Alex Cormack, and Sarah Litt. Bronx, baseball, Britain, baby." Then it shows the Comixology originals and migdal comics logos in blue and says “Next week!” in red

To get home to New York from Camelot, time lost baseball fan Danny Landau is going f---ing MEDIEVAL.

Issue #1 is out TUESDAY from me, @alexcormack.bsky.social @sarahstarlitt.bsky.social & @comixology.bsky.social Originals.

"Access to books decreases recidivism. . . .

[Yet] U.S. prisons remain the institutions where the most censorship occurs.

Why? bigotry, racism, and profit motive."
