According to the intro, book two was completed though Wood relied heavily on a few assistants and book three was laid out, mostly pencilled, and being lettered when Wood committed suicide.

Vanguard supposedly wants to finish the story and put it all out in one edition. I'd read it if they manage to do so, though probably from the library.

For a company that devotes itself to excellent illustrators like Wood, Steranko, Al Williamson, Roy Krenkel, Vanguard's production values aren't really that great. Still, the story itself is pretty fun. Not Wood's best art - it doesn't have the depth of his great sci-fi work, and Wood's not a great writer.

It's flawed, but Wood clearly had some fun with it, taking basic fantasy precepts and poking his finger in their eye. The hero is a diminutive scoundrel who obtains a magic sword needed to save the world. On the surface, it's pretty rote stuff, without the character evolution of the traditional hero arc. The guy stays pretty self-absorbed! Throughout, however, Wood's narration subverts the surface story, with goofy side-comments about the problems with the society the characters live in.

When a brave, noble prince shows up too late to get the magic sword, Wood tells the reader that it's okay, because he's kind of a twit. It's not great, not extremely recommended, but it's a fast, breezy read and fairly fun.

Art's nice, though Wood fans probably expect more. Jan 05, Paul Mirek rated it really liked it Shelves: The first part of an unfinished fantasy trilogy by the late Wally Wood, this volume is a rewarding piece of late-sixties fantasy kitsch. The Queen assured him of her eternal gratitude, and promised, should he succeed, to give him her daughter in marriage, together with all the estates she herself owned.

His first act was to seek the Fairy under whose protection he had been placed, and he implored her to give him all the assistance of her art and counsel in this important matter. After listening attentively to the whole adventure, the Fairy asked for time to consult her books. After due consideration she informed the Prince that the object of his search was not far distant, but that it was too difficult for him to attempt to enter the enchanted palace where she was, as the King his father had surrounded it with a thick cloud, and that the only expedient she could think of would be to gain possession of the Princess's parrot.

This, she added, did not appear impossible, as it often flew about to some distance in the neighbourhood. Having told the Prince all this, the Fairy went out in hopes of seeing the parrot, and soon returned with the bird in her hand. She promptly shut it up in a cage, and, touching the Prince with her wand, transformed him into an exactly similar parrot; after which, she instructed him how to reach the Princess.

The Prince reached the palace in safety, but was so dazzled at first by the Princess's beauty, which far surpassed his expectations, that he was quite dumb for a time.

The Princess was surprised and anxious, and fearing the parrot, who was her greatest comfort, had fallen ill, she took him in her hand and caressed him. This soon reassured the Prince, and encouraged him to play his part well, and he began to say a thousand agreeable things which charmed the Princess. Presently the King appeared, and the parrot noticed with joy how much he was disliked. As soon as the King left, the Princess retired to her dressing-room, the parrot flew after her and overheard her lamentations at the continued persecutions of the King, who had pressed her to consent to their marriage.

The parrot said so many clever and tender things to comfort her that she began to doubt whether this could indeed be her own parrot. When he saw her well-disposed towards him, he exclaimed: I am here on behalf of the Queen your mother, with the object of delivering your Highness; to prove which, behold this portrait which she gave me herself. The Princess's surprise was great, but after what she had seen and heard it was impossible not to indulge in hope, for she had recognised the likeness of herself which her mother always wore. The parrot, finding she was not much alarmed, told her who he was, all that her mother had promised him and the help he had already received from a Fairy who had assured him that she would give him means to transport the Princess to her mother's arms.

When he found her listening attentively to him, he implored the Princess to allow him to resume his natural shape. She did not speak, so he drew a feather from his wing, and she beheld before her a Prince of such surpassing beauty that it was impossible not to hope that she might owe her liberty to so charming a person.

Meantime the Fairy had prepared a chariot, to which she harnessed two powerful eagles; then placing the cage, with the parrot in it, she charged the bird to conduct it to the window of the Princess's dressing-room. This was done in a few minutes, and the Princess, stepping into the chariot with the Prince, was delighted to find her parrot again. As they rose through the air the Princess remarked a figure mounted on an eagle's back flying in front of the chariot.

She was rather alarmed, but the Prince reassured her, telling her it was the good Fairy to whom she owed so much, and who was now conducting her in safety to her mother. That same morning the King woke suddenly from a troubled sleep. He had dreamt that the Princess was being carried off from him, and, transforming himself into an eagle, he flew to the palace.

When he failed to find her he flew into a terrible rage, and hastened home to consult his books, by which means he discovered that it was his son who had deprived him of this precious treasure.
