Description
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.
