Ralph Azham

In the whimsical, medieval fantasy world of Fantagraphics' Ralph Azham (2012–present), artist and writer Lewis Trondheim crafts a slyly comedic saga of a reluctant, deadpan hero. The series follows the titular Ralph, a lazy and cynical young man who unexpectedly becomes the chosen one, only to find the prophecy's demands far more tedious than he'd like. With Trondheim's signature expressive linework and wry storytelling, this ongoing series offers a playful, character-driven deconstruction of classic fantasy tropes.
