The Wizard of Id / Yield

In 1974 and 1975, Gold Medal Books collected the daily antics of the beleaguered King and his wretched subjects from Johnny Hart and Brant Parker’s beloved newspaper strip into a four-issue comic series. A landmark of medieval satire, The Wizard of Id lampoons authority, class, and human folly with a sharp, warm wit that has kept its dank little kingdom relevant for decades. Hart’s clever wordplay and Parker’s expressive, cartoony art made these collections essential for fans of the strip’s enduring, cynical charm.
