…Ben grimaces painfully as he considers my latest work of art.

“There are two spears,” he says rather dismissively.
“Yep, well spotted, there are indeed two spears.”
“Is there a particular reason?”
“There is”
“Would you care to elucidate?”
“The magical weapons are all abilities of the mind and they are only symbolised by the physical objects which have come to represent them.”

Doomsday:

The Ætheling Thing

Stuart France & Sue Vincent

“Who was this Arviragus bloke anyway?”

Don studies the light as it plays through his beer, casting prisms on the table. How is it possible to hide such a story… the hidden history of Christianity in Britain? Oh, there are legends of course… old tales… Yet what if there was truth in them? What was it that gave these blessed isles such a special place in the minds of our forefathers? There are some things you are not taught in Sunday School. From the stone circles of the north to the Isle of Avalon, Don and Wen follow the breadcrumbs of history and forgotten lore to uncover a secret veiled in plain sight.

Full colour illustrated
