The Wizard of Id

A five-issue run from Ibis Imprints (1970–1974), The Wizard of Id adapts the long-running newspaper comic strip into a comic-book format, bringing the oppressed peasants of the kingdom of Id and their tiny, tyrannical king to a new medium. The series captures the strip's signature blend of medieval slapstick and sharp social satire, with writer Johnny Hart and artist Brant Parker at the creative helm. Its compact, complete story arc offers a concentrated dose of the strip's cynical humor and memorable characters.
