The Peasants Are Revolting

From 1971 to 1978, Gold Medal Books released four issues of The Peasants Are Revolting, a humorous comic series that lampoons medieval life with a modern satirical edge. The series is best known for the creative partnership of writer Johnny Hart and artist Brant Parker, whose witty, slapstick style brings a cast of bumbling peasants and pompous nobles to life. Though short-lived, it stands as a fond, forgotten gem of 1970s humor comics, showcasing the duo’s knack for absurdist comedy before their more famous work.
