As Mark’s most recent release (February 2022), Siegfried: Dragon Slayer has been a long in-development passion project of his; one to re-imagined a somewhat overlooked, but important, piece of mythology in to the modern, visual medium of a graphic novel.

Impulsive young Prince Siegfried craves glory and recognition from his aloof parents, the king and queen of Denmark. Starting a war with a neighbouring country and seeking out the most feared dragon in the realm seems like a good place to start.

An epic tale full of action, adventure, mythological beasts, magical swords, powerful rings, and a treacherous companion.

Adapted from the ancient Norse mythological Völsunga Saga, Siegfried: Dragon Slayer is the first in a two-part series by Canadians Mark Allard-Will and Jasmine Redford.

Siegfried: Dragon Slayer can be purchased internationally through publisher, Renegade Arts Entertainment, here.

Readers in the UK and Canada can likewise purchase by asking their local bookshop to order in a copy.

Mark acknowledges the support of, and thanks, SK Arts (formerly known as the Saskatchewan Arts Board), for funding support which facilitated the production of the majority of the artwork present in the book.
