Beer, baseball, Bronx, Britain! After being hit by a line drive, baseball fan Danny Landau wakes up in sixth-century England, out of time with no skills other than a knack for construction and a penchant for violence. After spending a year drinking and fighting, seeking a way back to his girl and New York, Danny’s unique form of loud-mouthed chivalry—and “The Babe,” his custom-designed iron bat—gains the attention of Arthur’s Knights of the Round Table, bringing him helm-to-boot with Arthur, Lancelot, and Merlin, the notoriously wily magician who may just have Danny’s ticket home.

The Vulgate Lancelot takes a vulgar turn as Arthur of Camelot and Danny from the Bronx—a beer-swilling, bat-wielding Jewish knight—vie for the same girl in this violent, mature original comic about an irreverent, would-be, time-lost hero ready to go fu[CENSORED]ng medieval on Camelot in order to find his girl…and a way back home.

With his relationship at stake—not to mention his neck—Danny finds himself coming up short in a medieval batting contest against King Arthur’s Black Knight, secretly one of the greatest home run kings in professional baseball. It’s bottom of the ninth and two outs for brash, desperate Danny…who’s got one more shot to save his skin, get the girl, and stop the cunning, ambitious Merlin from reaching modern-day New York.

Baseball, the Bronx, and Britain in Medieval from Neil Kleid and Alex Cormack

Xeric award-winning writer Neil Kleid and artist Alex Cormack go Medieval this November with a bombastic new series about baseball, the Bronx, and sixth-century Britain! Written and lettered by Kleid with art and colors by Alex Cormack and edits by Sarah Litt, Medieval issue #1 (of 5) debuts on November 11, 2025, from Amazon’s comiXology Originals exclusive digital content line.

Loud, brash, boisterous and over the top,Kleid takes a swing at something very different and out of his wheelhouse andhits a home run with Medieval, his most brutal, bloody, and vulgar – yet still emotionally grounded—comic series to date.

Baseball fan Danny Landau and his girlfriend Gina Rabinowitz attend a baseball game to watch their favorite Bronx team take on their most notorious rivals. After being hit by a line drive, Danny wakes up in sixth-century England, out of time with no skills other than a knack for construction, a love for baseball, and a penchant for violence. After spending the next year drinking and fighting, seeking a way back home to his girl and New York, Danny’s unique form of loud-mouthed chivalry – and “The Babe,” his custom-designed iron baseball bat – gains the attention of Camelot, and Arthur’s Knights of the Round Table, bringing him helm-to-boot with King Arthur, Lancelot, and Merlin, the notoriously wily magician who may have Danny’s ticket home… but whose true intentions aren’t trustworthy! When cultures clash and their meeting takes a violent turn, Lancelot suggests a Grand Tournament of valor, gallantry, and might as Arthur Pendragon of Camelot and Danny Landau from the Bronx – an ale-swilling, bat-wielding brawler – engage in a battle of the ages.

Kleid and Cormack let er’ rip in this violent, mature original comic about an irreverent, would-be, time-lost hero ready to go medieval on Camelot in order to find his way back home. As the 2025 baseball postseason comes to a close, Medieval will keep readers entertained well after the last inning and in anticipation of the 2026 baseball season!
