Get ready to mount up for Ladies of the Knight, a new graphic novel from Oni Press by writer/artist Fiona Marchbank.
“As a (now-retired) Roller Derby player, I created Ladies of the Knight as an ode to contact sports, and to those who are compelled to play them,” said Marchbank via press release. “LADIES OF THE KNIGHT uses the framework of a mentor story to explore the unbridled excitement of being a beginner, and the various joys, and hardships, of success.”
Added Senior Editor Grace Scheipeter, “Medieval stories are having a bit of a renaissance right now, and this tale of glamorous female and nonbinary knights is full of all of the jousting, archery, and tournaments readers could want. Paired with humorous moments of verbal sparring, heartwarming testaments to the bravery in persistence, and rewarding character relationships, Ladies of the Knight tells the story of how an unlikely duo can find success when they work together.”
Ladies of the Knight hits stores in July of 2026, but you can check out a preview below, as well as the synopsis:
Serafina is the best knight around, no question. She’s so good that she’s getting bored and reckless in her jousts, but when she takes on plucky George as a squire, she suddenly finds herself in the position she never wanted: a mentor. Their partnership is going to be even harder than it looks, considering George can barely hold a sword without giving herself a black eye and Serafina is even pricklier than the lance she wields. But if either of them are going to take the league of knights by storm, they’ll have to learn that neither of them can do it alone.
