Step into the gloriously absurd medieval kingdom of Id, where the tyrannical yet comically diminutive King rules over his long-suffering subjects with an iron fist and a remarkably short temper. The Wizard of Id: Number 15 collects over 250 laugh-packed comic strip adventures, presenting the beloved cast — including the bumbling Wizard, the roguish Spook, and the hapless Sir Rodney — in a relentless barrage of satirical gags that skewer political power, social hierarchy, and human folly at every turn. Brant Parker and Johnny Hart, two titans of American newspaper comic strips, crafted The Wizard of Id as a sharp-witted allegory wrapped in slapstick medievalism, and this volume illustrates their remarkable comedic chemistry at its finest. The strip's genius lies in its ability to smuggle biting social commentary inside genuinely silly, instantly accessible humour — a tradition that earned it a place among the most widely syndicated comic strips of the 20th century. Whether you are a longtime devotee of the kingdom of Id or a curious newcomer, this collection will leave you wondering: just how much has the world really changed since the Middle Ages?
