Reading Room WEIRDWORLD "Lord of Tyndall's Quest" Conclusion

When Last We Left Our Elves...

(actually, it's easier if you read the first two tales HERE and HERE, then continue...)

Despite the book selling very well, Marvel didn't use WeirdWorld to leap into the mystical fantasy market for another year.

But. when they did, it was with a new art team and a new approach, both in terms of plot and illustration.

Before we continue with the story on Monday, you might want to familiarize yourself with the geography of WeirdWorld, courtesy of co-creator Doug Moench and new art team of John Buscema, Rudy Nebres, and Peter Ledger...

See you on Monday!

Our Halloween Treat...WeirdWorld!

Every Halloween we do something unique...

This year, it'll be re-presenting the never-reprinted WeirdWorld saga.

In response to the then-current release of Ralph Bakshi's animated Lord of the Rings (though writer/co-creator Doug Moench was admant about having never read JRR Tolkien), the series featured art by co-creator Mike Ploog (who worked with Bakshi on Lord and Wizards as well as co-creating Werewolf by Night and the motorcycle-riding Ghost Rider), John Buscema, Rudy Nebres, Peter Leger, P Craig Russell, and Pat Broderick.

It's never been collected in book form or even a reprint mini-series.

But, beginning October 1st, it'll be here, in chronological order.
