Pewfell is an incompetent wizard in search of the “stone of stone”. He and his cohorts travel through medieval Middle Earth-ish towns and villages finding themselves in all various types of ridiculous scenarios. In issue #11 Pewfell and his companions arrive in Vagus where they’re done in by sex, drugs, and rock ’n roll. Arrested and banished to the Arena, can Pewfell survive Splorko?
Humorous and over the top, Pewfell is equal parts Dave Sim’s Cerebus and Terry Pratchett’s Discworld Series. The art is cartoonishly appropriate for the material‘s tone. The page layout almost never varies from the standard nine-panel grid which becomes a bit boring. The dialogue is mostly silly, but at times clever enough to elicit real laughs. It’s well worth a look for an easy and entertaining read.
