Ah, Boredflak, my old friend. How I have missed you and your Foster Grants. They sure don't make 'em like you anymore.

FF..That was a great comic....I really enjoyed it back in the day
ReplyDeleteGood comic for sure... I was a HUGE Wormy fan though. I thought everything afterwards was a pale reflection. Although I'll have to say KotD is a pretty danged funny strip.
ReplyDeleteWormy was the best comic ever published in Dragon. Nothing else has ever come close, but then Tramp was a rare individual who not only could draw well but tell a story well -- and a rather complex, if off-beat, story it was! It's a pity the man never got the respect he so richly deserved. The hobby is worse for his having left it.
ReplyDeleteI will register myself as a heretic and come out to say that while Wormy might have been the best comic published in The Dragon, Finieous is my absolute favourite, in part because I can easily envision myself and my group playing in a campaign like this at the age of, say, 12 or 14.
ReplyDeleteSo what if the art is amateur? That's the point! Dragon should have stayed an amateur magazine, and D&D should have stayed a mostly amateur game.

I'd hate to have to choose between FF and Wormy, because they're very different comics and each has something to recommend them. I do favor Wormy overall, but that's because I simply love Tramp's art, whereas I found Webster's art style more hit or miss.
ReplyDeleteStill, they're both great comics.
