The Boy Who Died
A story based fantasy
Webcomic by Kat Santoro.
Cat Legend is a rather unusual blend of
Medieval European Fantasy and
Urban Fantasy, with the narrative switching back and forth between two time periods. The comic follows the adventures of a core cast of characters which slowly expands as their places in the medieval portion of the story are revealed.
