A short story adapted into a comic by Colleen Doran, Chivalry follows an elderly British widow who buys the Holy Grail at a second hand store because she thinks it'll look nice on her mantle.
Before long, however, a knight, straight from the days and legends of King Arthur, visits and hopes to convince the woman to give it to him. The relationship they build is sweet and gentle, like a grandmother and adult grandson, and the absurdity of the situation is never treated as such.
Managing to embrace both the warmth of the story as well as the British fantasy/folklore vibe, Colleen Doran's detailed watercolours are stellar.
