The Wizard's Tale #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection brings together the complete run of Kurt Busiek's whimsical fantasy series, originally published in 2013 by IDW. The story follows an aging wizard named Bafflerog Rumpleshirt as he embarks on a quest to save his magical realm from a mundane threat, blending humor and adventure in a tale that subverts classic fantasy tropes. It includes all issues of the limited series, with art by David Wenzel and colors by John Kalisz.
In "The Book of Worse," Bafflerog takes on a surprising new companion in Muddle as they journey to Queens in search of the mysterious Book of Worse, while Grimthorne, displeased by their actions, sets out to track them down. Written by Kurt Busiek and brought to life with distinctive art by David Wenzel—pencils, inks, and colors all by him—this issue blends whimsy and tension in a tale where even the smallest ally can shift the balance of power. The cover, also by Wenzel, captures the story’s eerie, off-kilter tone.
Bafflerog Rumplewhisker, a wizard of questionable reputation and impeccable flair, takes on a reluctant squire in Muddle and sets off on a perilous journey to reclaim the fabled Book of Worse from the heart of Queens. As storms gather and shadowy alchemites stir, Lord Grimthorne, unimpressed by Bafflerog’s antics, sends stormravens to hunt him down—while a mysterious figure named Xanthina Florabunda watches from the edges of the tale.
