The Best of the Wizard of Id

The Wizard of Id deals with the goings-on of the run-down, oppressed Kingdom of Id. It follows characters from all corners of the kingdom, but concentrates on the court of a tyrannical dwarf-sized monarch, known only as "the King", his wizard, Wiz, his chief knight Sir Rodney, Bung the Jester and many, many others!

The strip has been running since 1964

A collection, specially selected by the family of the late, great Reuben Award winning, Johnny Hart taken from 25 years worth of best newspaper strips of the 20th century.Taking an idea from a deck of playing cards to create the first few strips of The Wizard of Id. The strip was first syndicated on November 9, 1964, drawn by Parker and co-written by Parker and Hart. In 1997 Brant Parker passed his writing duties on to his son Jeff Parker, who had already been involved with creating Id for a decade.
