St George Blood and Martyrs

Everyone has heard of St George and the Dragon. But could there be some history coded into the legend? Around 300 A.D. the Roman empire was oscillating between persecuting Christians and adopting their faith. From this world St George emerges as a career soldier who came to faith one decade too early - the night is darkest just before dawn, as they say. A group of illustrators use post-modern and street art styles to intertwine history, myth and their own dramatization. They invite readers to catch the enthusiasm that led medieval crusaders to adopt a Levantine soldier as patron saint of England.
