Master Cartoonist Lewis Trondheim's engaging madcap fantasy series!
From
the award-winning mind of cartoonist Lewis Trondheim comes the expansive and
rich anthropomorphic medieval world of Ralph Azham. After failing the test of
the Chosen One as a young duck, Ralph had a tough time growing up as the village
pariah, often getting into trouble due to an innate extra sense that’s
rather unbelievable, embarrassing, and unfortunate. That was only compounded by
the constant visit of spirits that only he, Ralph, could see. Cut to today, his
village is threatened by a vicious Horde, an apocalyptic flood may take the life
of Ralph's only supporter, his father, and the Wise Men's Counsel are out for
Ralph's hide after rumors he had his way with one of their daughters. Ultimately
Ralph must leave the village and unlock the secrets of his childhood as he
journeys to the Kingdom of Astolia, but not before he takes a young ward, Raoul,
who bears an uncanny similarity to Ralph. It's a sprawling story of fathers and
their sons, magic, mysticism, with plenty of action, adventure, and signature
Trondheim madcap humor.
