Ward Dizzley's 100% True Life Action Adventure Comics Digest Issue ONE is a very
different comic than those that typically show up in the Cap’s Comics
section. But it is likely the first, and
maybe the only, largely set in a Disney Theme Park. In this case the majority of the action in
the book takes place in the Walt Disney World Resort. The fictional editor-in-chief of this comic
is Ward Dizzley, a clear parody of Walt Disney.
The humorous nature of the book is underscored by ads for products like
“Burning Settler’s Cabin” which is economically priced at a dollar. The low price shows us we are in a prior era
since there is no way you could get a burning cabin for that price today! But a word to the wise, don’t buy in bulk.
The main content of the book
is three stories. The first story is a
satirical Uncle Remus tale. The second
is a story of two slackers who join up with a pair of ladies in the Walt Disney
Resort and hit it off or not. The third
is the story of the meeting of Hoot Gibson and Chief, two Walt Disney World
employees who love the resort and learn the secret of exploring backstage. The art is fun and relaxed and fits the light
stories in the comic.
Really this comic has a
dedicated audience, the fans of the Mesa Verde Times which documents the adventures of Hoot Gibson and the late
Chief backstage at Horizons. This blog
has a very dedicated audience that enjoys their writing style and stories. And this comic was really made for that loyal
audience. Those who are big fans of
satire in the Mad Magazine style
would also likely enjoy this comic. But
the comic is not for kids, as it includes mature material. This is not a fan extension of the Disney
Kingdoms comics. And it is not for super
hero comic fans, unless they also like Mesa
Verde Times or satire magazines also.
Ward Dizzley's 100% True Life Action Adventure Comics Digest Issue ONE is a comic
that dedicated to a specific Disney fan community. But it is likely not for everyone. However, it is an offering in the Kindle
Unlimited program. Therefore, for those
wishing to sample without buying there is an affordable option.
While I could see Rolly Crump
giving this comic a big thumbs up, not all of Rolly’s fans may agree.
