Graphic novel spotligh

 

Squire & Knight by Scott Chantler

The plot of this book doesn't bring a lot of surprises based on the set up: a braggart knight and his bookish squire arrive in a town troubled by a dragon. It's classic brains versus brawn as the knight charges into a fight and the squire questions the stories he hears from the villagers. The power of this book is in the artwork. Each panel contributes to the narrative, lending action, details, and dynamic facial expressions. The limited color palate keeps the page from becoming chaotic. It's a book you can read repeatedly and be entertained every time.
