Black Knight was a series released by Marvel Comics in 1955. Volume 1 ran until the following year, with five releases over that time. In the beginning, the series told the adventures of Sir Percy of Scandia, featuring King Arthur, Wizard Merlin and the Knights of the Round Table as supporting characters. However, the series became more famous and relevant after the release of Volume 2, when the spirit of the Black Knight found Dane Whitman in present times and he became the new superhero, even going on adventures with the Avengers and other important Marvel Universe Characters. The first volume was cancelled after only five issues due to the low number of readers, but the release of Volume 2 changed that and now Black Knight is a major Marvel character, even rumoured to appear in the upcoming MCU movies.
