Dork Tower

    (Corsair, 1998-2006)
™ and ©1998 John Kovalic
Corsair publishes #1–8; Dork Storm publishes later issues

Known for his popular (and very funny) “Wild Life” comic strip, John Kovalic took on the strange world of gamers with this, his first foray into comic book publishing. Dork Tower follows Matt, Igor, Ken, and Carson the Muskrat (from the Wild Life strip) as they barge through preposterous imaginary dungeons, launch into Talmudic discussions of gaming rules, and slowly come to realize that telling a woman you’re a gamer is about as enticing as copping to a venereal disease.

Okay, we overstate a bit, but the characters and situations of Dork Tower will seem frighteningly (and hilariously) familiar to many a gamer. Highly recommended.
