If you enjoy fast-paced medieval adventures with compelling characters, you won’t want to miss this film. Interestingly, it later served as a key inspiration for George R.R.

As a critic, I have to say DC’s Camelot 3000, launched in 1982 and running for twelve issues, was a real game-changer. Working with writer Mike W. Barr, artist Bolland delivered something truly special, even if it took a few years to complete. This series arrived during a particularly creative period for DC, and I think it genuinely helped shape the company’s direction. It proved comics could be for adults, and it did so right alongside Alan Moore’s Swamp Thing, which often gets the credit for kicking off that shift. Honestly, Camelot 3000 was on another level entirely, and it still holds up remarkably well today.
