And so this chapter of the saga begins, innocently enough...
...with three beings we would consider "fantastic" telling stories about creatures they consider "fantastic"!
You'll find out whose trail tomorrow, elf, and you'll wish you hadn't...
BTW, here's the credits from the never-reprinted Marvel Super Special #11 (1979)...
Kool, eh?

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

(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!
