The Wizard of Id Annual

A short-lived but charming annual from Beaumont Book Co., The Wizard of Id Annual collected two special issues in 1968 and 1969, offering readers a chance to revisit the medieval misadventures of the perpetually miserable King, the scheming Wizard, and the rest of the Idian cast. These oversized editions compiled classic newspaper strips and likely new material, serving as an early example of a humor comic annual that preserved the sharp, cynical wit of the series for a devoted audience. While the run was brief, it remains a notable artifact of the era's syndicated strip collections.
