Xanadu (comic)

From WikiFur, the furry encyclopedia.

Xanadu is a fantasy comic book created by cartoonist Vicky Wyman which first appeared in 1988. Xanadu first appeared in the miniseries "Thief of Hearts" published by Thoughts & Images beginning in 1988, which was collected by MU Press. MU then published the next miniseries "Across Diamond Seas" which was duly collected by LX Ltd., the publisher of the Xanadu fanzine The Ever-Changing Palace (10 issues).

The setting is in a fantasy world that is populated by humanoid animals. The general society structure has a caste system made up of, in declining order of status:

• Nobles - mythological creatures like unicorns and dragons.
• Freeborn - wild animals such as foxes and hawks.
• Domestique- animals that are domesticated ones in our world such as dogs and cats.

The heroes of the story are:

• Tabbe Le Fauve, gentleman thief of a cat determined to defy this caste system
• Jonathan, a cynical mule who is his partner.
• Alicia - current unicorn Empress of Xanadu whose seemingly frivolous and voracious sexual appetites hide a cunning political skill and a reformer's social conscience.
• Fatima - A buxom vixen who is Alicia's personal handmaiden and lover to Tabbe
• Octavius - A stuffy dragon who is Alicia's personal advisor.
• Kinomon - A young Golden Dragon warrior on loan from the allied Golden Realm.

The comics are noted for an atypical focus on romantic adventure orientation for fantasy with a tone closer to The Princess Bride than other works.
