Reborn time and again throughout the ages, one soul struggles through loss and horror towards enlightenment. Sometimes hero, sometimes villain, he is always the touchstone upon which humanity will be judged, a scapegoat, a prisoner, a victim...an Everyman. This is a fantasy story told through numerous historical ages, from a medieval morality play to an impossible enlightenment prison and beyond.

The stories of myth and legend tell of a mighty battle fought on the field of Camlann, a final battle where father and son clashed at the heads of two titanic armies, where the last chapter of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table was finally played out. This is, of course, a lie. The final days of Camelot were far darker, far stranger and far more deadly than any bard has ever told, and Camlann was only the beginning. As Lancelot returned, as Guinevere was reinstated as Queen, and as Arthur sought for one last time to heal the land that it was his birthright to protect, a brooding menace grew in strength threatening to tear the kingdom apart forever. In the last days of the Age of Magic a menace would come that none foresaw, and against whom not even the fabled Knights of the Round Table could survive. A menace known only as Merlin...

The last soldier faces a different kind of war, the last bullet is fired in an attempt to save lives, the last supper is served to a changeable beast and the last flower finally blooms. These are experimental black and white comics that play with the poetic to deliver their haunting tales.

Popular culture has often presented a mythologised version of archaeology that at times misinforms the general public about broader academic intentions. The fantastic and bizarre continue to capture the public imagination, so that while archaeological teams excavate, survey and record, they occupy the same geographic locations as ghost tour operators and seekers of the supernatural. Not only does archaeology operate within the same geography as modern mythology, but widespread access to technology, from satellite imagery to GPS data, means that enthusiastic amateurs can partake in their own investigations. With limited landscape identification training, an enthusiasm for discovery and strange cultural biases, fringe operators have utilised new technologies to justify old fallacies through variant forms of amateur archaeology.This collection draws on the wealth of work currently being undertaken by contemporary archaeologists in Australia, from rock art observations to art/archaeology experiments and even space archaeology. It explores archaeology on the edge, contextualising the fringe dwellers that operate on the periphery of accepted academia. It also looks at contemporary archaeological theory and practice in relation to these fringe operators, developing approaches toward interaction, in contrast to the more common reaction of repudiation. The relationship between the accepted centre and the outer edge in contemporary archaeological practice and theory unveils much about popular misconceptions and how archaeological spaces can be overlaid with variant mythological and cultural interpretations.
