These 15 Artists Interpretations of "Lady Knights" Are Really Beautiful
1001 Knights is a project created to show off what it means to be a female warrior. Kevin Stanton and Annie Stoll curated the artists submissions to create what they call "a massive 3-volume anthology project focusing on creating people-positive characters with feminist overtones." Artists contributed comics, illustrations, poetry and prose to the work. Here are a few of our favorite illustrations.
