More Comedy/Fantasy From Image Comics With The Announcement Of ‘D’orc’ From ‘I Hate Fairyland’ Artist Brett Bean
by Olly MacNamee
I Hate Fairyland‘s artist Brett Bean and colourist Jean-François Beaulieu, with letterer Nate Piekos (Minor Threats), are teaming up for a high-fantasy/comedy yarn in the upcoming series, D’orc.
“Armed with nothing but a wisecracking enchanted shield and a crippling need for friendship, a lonely orphan stumbles headfirst into Sunderaine’s never-ending war. Light vs. Dark. Elves vs. Orcs. Wizards vs. Common Sense. Dragons vs. Literally Everyone. And caught dead-center? D’orc.”
Half dwarf, half orc, and wholly inconvenient to a doomsday prophecy, D’orc’s fated to end the world. Soon, every human, elf, goblin, dwarf, Snargletooth, Necroid, Ice Giant, Trauma Llama, and at least three other unpronounceable magical creatures will know his name. Unfortunately, so will his enemies.”
Talking about this new series, Bean said:
“I always gravitate to stories that have purpose, heart, and humor. I love characters that are flawed, believable, and feel real despite being in a very unreal world. There’s a lot of D’orc in me…”
