Introduction:

The Adventures of Wiglaf and Mordred is a comic I created way back when in 2005 while taking two British Lit classes at the same time. Covering all the British Literature from before Beowulf to the present makes you attached. Before I knew it, I had created two characters based on my favorite characters and there you go – slapped them together and you had a comic.

Wiglaf was created based on the character ‘Wiglaf’ from Beowulf. If you don’t know who that is, go read the second half of Beowulf – the part with the dragon – and you’ll find he’s the poor sap who got stuck dealing with all of the feuds that Beowulf started. Poor guy; he got my pity and quickly became my favorite character in the epic.

Mordred, I should hope is a tad more obvious where his inspiration came from. If not, than I’ll tell you – He’s based on ‘Mordred’ from the Authur Legends. Specifically, the Mordred from Morte Darthur by Sir Thomas Malory. Why is he my favorite? He had the best death scene. Go read it.

Why did I stick them together? Who knows but I liked it. Thanks for reading!
