Arthur, King of Time and Space

9/28/05

The hurricane relief Webcomic Telethon book is now available. All proceeds got to the Red Cross.

It's from other extant sources than those I know best, but it is in the legends that Bran's head was buried at London to magically protect Britain, and that Arthur dug it up because he didn't want Britain to rely on magical protection. This is the development I was working for when first discussing the abrasion between Merlin and Tristram: the conflict in Arthur's mind between magical and practical defenses. (I'm not aware if it was ever said of Bran that he'd return in Britain's hour of greatest need, but for the space arc I needed a different prophecy and this one, oh I dunno, came to mind.)

Now I know what you're thinking. You're all wondering whether, in fifteen years, the space arc'll send up The Wrath of Khan.

Stay tuned.
