More from Ayato
Just recently I discovered the comic 'Dungeon' by Joann Sfar and Lewis Trondheim. It's a fantasy series about an enormous dungeon that's run like a business: Heroes are lured in and the millions of demons and monster therein kill them and collect their loot.
Marvin (the dragon) is a dungeon guard and Herbert (the duck) is a new employee of the dungeon. The two become friends through humorous circumstances. I've only read the first volume 'Duck Heart' but I thinks it's fantastic so far.

This reminds me of the book Dark Lord of Derkholm by Diana Wynne Jones, which had a slightly similar premise: an entire fantasy world run as a tourist business, in which people from the "normal" world could pay to have their own "epic adventures" in this fantasy world. The Dark Lord, by the way, was an appointed role, and the not-so-renowned wizard Derk is chosen that year. I'll have to check this comic out, though, it sounds like the characters are worth following.
Unexpected, yet lovely reference. Make sure you lay your paws on the rest! There are actually three main series: Potron-Minet (the Early Years), Zénith (Apogee) and Crépuscule (Twilight). All three series are being published at their own pace; and they're not supposed to be read in chronological order, but loosely in order of publication. As a result, you'll read the beginning of Crépuscule - opening on a ravaged world ruled by an evil king - before reaching the end of Zénith, and left to discover later what led to the demise of Terra Amata. Epic storytelling!
This is by far my most preferred comics. I've often thought to introduce it to the furry community as their author really deserve more coverage for all this awesomeness. Sadly, it looks like only a few issues has been translated in English (on my own, I'm a french speaker).
Actually, the part of the story you've read is quite classical and a bit childish in comparison with its further development. Trondheim has built up a whole cathedral of worlds and characters fates which cross over at different historical levels, forming a consistent mind-blowing universe.
Since I read Donjon, my main problem is that I'm no more interested in any other series. Standard story telling looks so bleach and sluggish in comparison.
