Loaned Out

The Hedge Knight: The Graphic Novel (2013)

October 13, 2021 Season 1 Episode 26

This week on Loaned Out, Mike and Brendan discuss The Hedge Knight. In this comic book/graphic novel adaptation set one hundred years before the events in George R.R. Martin’s epic fantasy series, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Hedge Knight chronicles a young squire as he travels the cruel and complex path to knighthood in the Seven Kingdoms.

Shouldering his fallen master’s sword and shield, Duncan (or “Dunk") is determined to reinvent himself as a knight in a nearby tournament. But first Dunk needs a sponsor, and that requirement sends him down a road studded with friends, foes, adventure, and hidden agendas. One such friend is Egg, who becomes Dunk’s squire, yet even he may hold secret motivations of his own.

Join us next week when we discuss The Wolf of Snow Hollow.
