If anyone out there has a favorite source or sources for semi-obscure medieval legends, particularly around either King Arthur or the knights of Charlemagne, I'm in the market for some recommendations. ♥

And in return, if you want a recommendation for the perfect antidote to all the Twilight silliness, I'm really enjoying "The Strain" by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan. High literature it ain't, but it's a fun, if predictable, suitably disgusting take on the vampire mythos, and fellow fans of Del Toro's cinematic work won't be disappointed by the visuals and the way scenes are set up.

Of course I'm going to start babbling about webcomics.

Honestly, my current favorite source for Arthuriana is Arthur, King of Time and Space - but he's got several links to his source material, so it should still be reasonably helpful. (It's also the best MSPaint-created comic I read, with the understanding that I still haven't seriously attempted to read MSPaint Adventures yet.)

In fact, speaking of webcomics based on classic English literature, you'd probably enjoy Lit Brick quite a bit - it's a cartoonist drawing comics about the entirety of the Norton Anthology, in order.

I'm actually on for the original (or at least pre-1960) stuff, as the foundation for a project, but I'll have to see about taking a look at these - as you said, the links to source material at the very least should be useful. ;)
