The first challenge of the sequence options work from the artistic group of author David Hazan, artist Shane Connery Volk, colorist Luca Romano, and letterer Justin Birch. Today The Beat is happy to current an unique first look at pages from 5 of the sequence’ six tales, all of that are set on the earth of Hazan and Connery Volk’s reimagined Robin Hood mythos.
Here’s how Mad Cave describes Tales from Nottingham #1:
Legend has it that in April 1192, Conrad of Montferrat, the King of Jerusalem was felled by two assassins. It was later discovered that this was an try to sow discord amongst the crusading nations by blaming the killing on Richard the Lionheart. One murderer was captured and died in captivity…The different escaped the Crusaders’ grasp. This is the story of Aya’s first project. This is the story of the day she actually turned… Hashashin (Chronology: Takes place in April 1192).
Other tales set to function within the anthology sequence, based on Mad Cave, come from creators together with Magdalene Vissagio, and embrace “the secret origins of Robin Hood and the Merry Men, Marian’s violent past, Aya of the Hashashin’s first kill, and an ordeal that will shake Friar Tuck to his core. Never-before-seen mysteries confront Everard Blackthorne, the Sheriff of Nottingham, culminating in an investigation that will lead directly into the climactic events of Nottingham Vol. 3.”
