These techniques proved unworkable in production terms, but you still get a feel for the majesty and grandeur of her original ideas. I say ‘glitters’ because Doran originally envisaged her work as an actual illuminated manuscript with gold leaf and iridescent colours. Now released as a graphic novel, Chivalry glitters and glows with the impeccable illustrations of Colleen Doran, who also worked with Gaiman on Snow, Glass, Apples. An amusing and often poignant adventure ensues, as Galaad, an earnest medieval knight comes to claim the cup. It’s the story of an elderly widow who buys what turns out to be the Holy Grail in a charity shop.
