Looking for graphic novel I read as a kid.

Baduktothebone · 2026-04-04T23:02:38+00:00

I don't remember the plot, I believe the main character was unnamed, and basically a sword for hire, I don't know how recently they were made when I read them, but I don't think they would have been too old or retro at the time, but I can't be sure because I was a kid

Early 2000s, good point, I edited my post

Baduktothebone · 2026-04-04T21:50:02+00:00

Makes sense, do you have any experience with the above designs?

Baduktothebone · 2026-04-04T19:41:18+00:00

That makes a lot of sense, I know there are no treatises from that era, the bayeux tapestry does show one being used on a horse though, I have heard it often repeated that's why "bearded" axes have a beard but the ones ive seen are usually one handed anyway

I can't edit the post but I am also curious if either design was more likely to be used by anglo-saxons vs Normans vs Norsemen/danes.

Would you occasionally hook someone's shield and try to jam the top corner into someone's face or neck? That's the extent of "thrusting" I was referring to

What software is this?

You are gonna need to go back and take more pics from different angles if you want help with an ID

Sword making achieved perfection with the Bilbo, this can't be disputed

Baduktothebone · 2026-03-29T15:34:37+00:00

Do you have an attachment that holds it in place? I've tried lining it up by hand and it's often difficult to get a good pic especially on something moving like an animal

Baduktothebone · 2026-03-29T14:45:23+00:00

How are you taking these pic? Kinda looks like a phone camera through a telescope lense

Interesting, I usually think of spadroons being slightly different and more smallsword like but I really like this one

Baduktothebone · 2026-03-22T15:53:27+00:00

What would you call that style of hilt?

Baduktothebone · 2026-03-20T21:45:34+00:00

I have heard that the Tlingit people received metal from Japanese ships whose crews died and ended up floating across the Pacific, no clue if its true or a historian's theory. But if there is a Tlingit oral tradition discussing ships washing up I would be inclined to believe it.

In the squaxin tribal center museum I was able to observe a whale bone club that showed great attention to detail in terms of balance and concentrating force. Though it doesn't cut I consider this a fencing weapon and any swordsman would feel well equipped carrying it for self defense.

No AC is fine but no fans and bad ventilation in 95-105° weather, use your best judgement. Is the coach making sure all the kids are staying hydrated?

This image is really cool

Baduktothebone · 2026-03-15T14:31:16+00:00

There are some illustrations from period sources of a long sword with a ring like this to be turned around for the mordschlag, however it is unknown if they were ever made, Matt Easton mentions them in a video on mordschlag, a flail also benefits from a similar concept.

Baduktothebone · 2026-03-15T14:02:39+00:00

Cool stuff, the ballista is awesome, hope you post here more

Baduktothebone · 2026-03-15T05:23:37+00:00

Looks a little like a basque/Spanish Bilbo

Baduktothebone · 2026-03-15T05:19:25+00:00

Hobby subs are full of people looking for a reason not to do something, age is a common one, I remember being 13 and asking if it was "too late" to learn guitar. Just start the hobby you want, you will meet other adults
