Iznogouds missöden och äventyr #[nn]

Part of the Swedish "Iznogouds missöden och äventyr" series published by Pyramid in 1993, this volume — "Trollkarlarnas marknad" (The Wizards' Market) — brings Goscinny and Tabary's beloved scheming Grand Vizier to a gathering that looks delightfully chaotic. The cover bursts with color as Iznogoud's sharp-beaked, grinning face peers up from the foreground, while a crowd of wildly costumed sorcerers and merchants — including a rotund figure in a polka-dotted robe and a star-spangled wizard with a magnificent red beard — jostle for attention behind him. If you enjoy comedy with a Arabian Nights flavor drawn with Tabary's wonderfully expressive linework, this is a thoroughly entertaining addition to the shelf.
