The Wizard's Tale — Kurt Busiek

Welcome to the Land of Ever-Night. Bafflerog Rumplewhisker is an evil wizard, from a long line of evil wizards. It''s his job to maintain the darkness spells that keep his corner of Ever-Night as dark and gloomy as the rest of it, and to find the long-lost BOOK OF WORSE, which holds magical spells that can crush the forces of goodness and light forever. There''s only one problem. His heart''s just not in it. Master storytellers Kurt Busiek and David T. Wenzel invite you to join Bafflerog and his companions — Gumpwort, an enchanted toad who was once a wizard himself, and Muddle, the third son of a woodcutter who''s convinced he''ll one day be king — as they make a journey that may mean the end of everything. Or maybe... it could mean something else.
