NOTES

There was no room in the story for details about William's huge horse, but the goal was to have him as a descendant of Alexander The Great's Bucephalus.

"To face the horror" is a loose reference to Dylan Dog.

The creatures slain by William in panel 1 are "faerie" lookalike.

Mount Pellegrino is a real life thing, hosting some interesting features which we'll describe in page 4.

The Marrabecca is a monster of the Sicilian folklore, here re-worked with an appearance that is devoid of its female side, but it's a woman nonetheless.

Apparently, the monsters faced by William II are not the "real" ones, but mere copies generated by someone or something by drawing into pre-existent lore.
In the making stage of the comic, the Marrabecca was meant to be a sister of the Wise Arabian Woman, ore even the Wise Woman herself, turned into a monster.
