Wiz
War
Wizard
- "Wiz" - Prang was constantly competing with
Demon Druid to create the better spell or potion, though
neither appeared to be any good at their spellcasting
and
most concoctions and bedazzlements backfired, with
suitably chaotic results.
Poor
old Prang was just hapless, and Druid no demon.
Indeed, most tales appeared to end with Prang's pet
vulture Engel in command!...
This fine, fun toon may well have taken its cue from Disney's
"'Sword in the Stone' and Merlin's duel with Mad
Madam
Mim.
"Wiz War" first popped up in the sixties, in Odham's
short-lived "Pow!" comic (1967-68). The strip's
Fleetway
appearances seem to have been restricted to just a
handful of annual and specials...
Unless you know
better?
