Cross your favorite Saturday-morning cartoon (but with better art) with The Princess Bride, add a kickass Rubenesque redhead and a talking lemur named Lloid, stir well, and you’ll get Adam Prosser’s Lemuria, a fun satire on the swords-and-sorcery genre. The comic features Sorcera, a somewhat ditzy student of magic at a girl’s school, and Swordi (“I’m a silly person,” Prosser says in regards to his characters’ names), the aforementioned redhead. Easily the best thing about this comic, “Dee,” as she is nicknamed, is a wandering adventurer with a quick wit and an appetite for violence. Prosser has chosen to make Dee a plus-sized woman who’s not a token or a joke—a rarity in pop culture of any medium, but all the more so in comics, where the women usually have stilts for legs and breasts the size of watermelons. But even if she resembled, say, Wonder Woman or Aeon Flux, it’s hard not to like a character who describes her ‘average day’ by saying: “I break into a temple, swipe a bunch of valuables, set the place on fire, and then sell your holy artifacts for booze . . . Everybody wins!”

Prosser’s drawing style is clear, colorful, and pleasing to the eye, and his plots are fast-paced and always funny. The first plotline involves sadistic nuns, virgin sacrifice, a demon god in need of some counseling, and a dungeon reminiscent of the original Super Mario Brothers. Oh, and did I mention there are lemurs?
