Weirdworld

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Weirdworld was a fantasy series created by Doug Moench and Mike Ploog for Marvel Comics set in a dimension of magic not unlike Middle-earth from The Lord of the Rings. The protagonists were two elves : Tyndall and Velanna , both from the floating ring-shaped island of Klarn, and an irascible dwarf dubbed Mud-Butt (because he tended to land on his backside in a quarrel).

Weirdworld was first seen in the first issue of the black and white magazine Marvel Super Action. Then it was featured in the color comic Marvel Premiere #38 (Oct. 1977). It's three part mini-series in Marvel Super-Special, illustrated by John Buscema was heralded at the time for it's use of full color paintings throughout, although many felt the story didn't live up to the hype the strip received.
