Oppressed, dank, shabby and miserable. No, not a night out in Sunderland, but the Kingdom of Id. A one-horse kingdom ruled by a wretched, pint-sized tyrannical despot. This is a collection of Brant Parker and Johnny Hart’s award-winning newspaper strip, featuring a cast of wise-cracking wizards and rotten rulers, drunken has-been jesters and cowardly knights. If this doesn’t make you laugh, you’re better off in Sunderland.
The Wizard of Id has been running continuously for over 45 years since its launch in 1964, making it one of the longest running newspaper strips in history. This collection includes strips from 1971, when the strip won the first of its five National Cartoonist Society Best Humour Strip awards.

one-horse kingdom ruled by a wretched, pint-sized tyrannical despot

The Medieval Comics Project, sponsored by The Association for the Advancement of Scholarship and Teaching of the Medieval in Popular Culture, is an ongoing effort conducted by a small (but dedicated) group of comics scholars, Arthurian enthusiasts, and medievalists to compile a comprehensive listing of the representations of the medieval in the comics medium. The corpus is international in scope and extends as far back as (at least) the 1920s. We welcome your help in achieving our goal.
