<p>70.242.146.154: </p> <hr /> <div>'''''Xanadu''''' is a [[fantasy]] [[comic book]] created by cartoonist [[Vicky Wyman]] which first appeared in 1988. ''Xanadu'' first appeared in the miniseries &quot;Thief of Hearts&quot; published by [[Thoughts &amp; Images]] beginning in 1988, which was collected by [[MU Press]]. MU then published the next miniseries &quot;Across Diamond Seas&quot; which was duly collected by [[LX Ltd.]], the publisher of the ''Xanadu'' [[fanzine]] ''[[The Ever-Changing Palace]]'' (10 issues).<br /> <br /> The setting is in a fantasy world that is populated by humanoid animals. The general society structure has a [[caste]] system made up of, in declining order of status:<br /> *'''Nobles''' - mythological creatures like [[unicorn]]s and [[dragon]]s.<br /> *'''Freeborn''' - wild animals such as [[fox]]es and [[hawk]]s.<br /> *'''Domestique'''- animals that are domesticated ones in our world such as [[dog]]s and [[cat]]s.<br /> <br /> The heroes of the story are:<br /> *Tabbe Le Fauve, gentleman thief of a cat determined to defy this caste system<br /> *Jonathan, a cynical [[mule]] who is his partner.<br /> *Alicia - current unicorn Empress of Xanadu whose seemingly frivolous and voracious sexual appetites hide a cunning political skill and a reformer's social conscience.<br /> *Fatima - A buxom [[vixen]] who is Alicia's personal handmaiden and lover to Tabbe<br /> *Octavius - A stuffy [[dragon]] who is Alicia's personal [[Wiktionary:advisor|advisor]].<br /> *Kinomon - A young Golden Dragon warrior on loan from the allied Golden Realm.<br /> *Reginald Plume - a fearsome gryphon, head of the Imperial guard and one-time lover of Fatima. He turned on his Empress when she undermined his authority and aided Fatima in her preference for Tabbe. Despite his haughty ruthlessness, Reginald was probably more popular with readers than Tabbe, the vaunted hero. Wyman made things a little too easy for Tabbe in her story, and her main heroine, Alicia, was a spoiled strumpet and exhibitionist. Given these facts, it was a bit difficult not to sympathize with Reginald rather than the two &quot;good guys&quot;.<br /> <br /> The comics are noted for an atypical focus on romantic adventure orientation for fantasy with a tone closer to ''The Princess Bride'' than other works.<br /> {{Comic-stub}}<br /> {{Wikipedia|Xanadu_(comics)}}<br /> [[Category:Mature comics]]<br /> [[Category:1998 births]]</div>
