Abadazad... Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
The comic looked promising. I miss CrossGen.

The book series incarnation isn't a true graphic novel, but has many comic book sequences interspersed throughout.

Hmm. I had never heard of this at all, but looking at the website it seems very interesting and a bit funny. I think I would like it. I take it 'Abadazad' was originally a series of comics, and is now in the story linked by the opening post an old series of comic books that reflects and actual place, or what?

Abadazad was a comic book series published by Crossgen back in the spring of 2004. It got good reviews, but was prematurely ended when the publisher went out of business.
Disney bought the CG properties it felt had family entertainment appeal, and Abadazad was the title they were most interested in.
The story is now being done as a prose book series hybrid that mixes pages done up like a 19th century fantasy storybook, pages done up like the lead character's diary, and brightly colored comic book sequences.
