BloMo4: Of Thieves and Kings....


[info]dianamoon asked me about my interest in Thieves and Kings. It's a fantasy adventure comic book/story that's been running since the early 90s (oh gawd, 1994) that I've been reading off an on since then. The format is half-prose, half-sequential art or art pages, and I just found it charming. It comes out only a few times a year, and at this point, I've lost track of the story, but I keep getting it faithfully, because it's a quality story from an independent publisher. Some day, I will sit down and catch up on the past few year's worth of individual issues. However, if this interests you in the series at all, there are trade paperbacks collecting the full story.

I find the whole venture, from publisher to story itself, damn charming. You might, too. *g* If you just want to dabble in the universe, I suggest buying the very funny Walking Mage compendium, which is a collection of newly coloured comic strips gathered up from various places, involving one bumbling character from the T&K universe.

So, anyone else out there reading this series? ^^

love, lore

actually, I have the first dozen or so issues of this title (from back in 94/95, yessss). I always thought is was a very fine piece of work and would like very much to see where the story wound up...

If you don't mind a big dose of SOMEDAY attached to it, I can try and find all my scattered issues. The comic book project is EPIC and probably on the back burner compared to the BPAL project and overall Clean Out Stuff project. If you haven't broken down and found them by then, the backlog is yours to borrow!

It's not quite over yet. I think the creator talked about 2.5 more "books" (collected TPBs) before he would be done.
