Welcome to the realm of Fintrasia created by Shaun Garea and to the fantastical world of Gareus; the Saddest Man in Fantasy. This comic is not released to any specific schedule but the hope is for at least one main story a year with several one page events and strips. So sit back, relax, and thank the heavens you are not... GAREUS! (NOTE: More stories ARE coming later in 2025!!)
Can it be? Gareus, originally borne from playing the roleplaying game Advanced Fighting Fantasy is now being immortalized in the new Advanced Fighting Fantasy Board Game: Dark Dungeons!!!! The Kickstarter is running here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2036759092/advanced-fighting-fantasy-dark-dungeons-the-boardgame - back it and get your own Gareus to foil your spelunking adventures in the world of Titan!
THE INSUFFERABLENESS CONTINUES!
I mean… if he believes it it’s not a lie right?
90’s power comics eat your hearts out!
All’s well that ends well, at least for Gareus that is.
Look how happy he is!!
We kick off chapter two by visiting Gareus before the great plague (more on that to come…) - the town looks lovely, just, don’t get too attached to IT’s INHABITANTS.
That is all for now…
Chapter 2 coming soon - in the meantime however why not start reading from the beginning all over again?
The lost adventure, definitely a hoot! This crossover was written by and illustrated all by Gheralf and Vayandil at Realm of Owls. These two avian maestros captured Gareus so well I sort of wish I could see more of him in their wonderful world. Read more Realm of Owls here:
Many, many thanks to Mike Allred and his team for allowing Gareus to sully their magnificent world for one photobombing selfie ;-)
I have been reading ALLred’s work since I was a teenager so it is a huge honour to be able to introduce Gareus to Frank Einstein, Joe, and Professor Flem - it therefore seems very fitting that after years of loving this world, gareus’ impact in it is akin to an annoying extra in the background that is then cut from the rest of the production. Glorious. But don’t worry, we know gareus will tell it differently.
More Lost Summer adventures from other worlds to come…
Now, to figure out where all Gareus’ odd socks are going…
TALK ABOUT AN EXPOSÉ. WHERE ARE GAREUS’ PANTS? WHAT EEL IS DAVE TALKING ABOUT? ALL BE REVEALED (AGAIN) IN THE NEXT THRILLING PAGE!
Always highbrow here at The Legend of Gareus. Will Gareus realize where his pants have gone? Will the men be blinded? Will Dave ever be able to speak again? Stay tuned gentle readers…
Hiring the hero… Maybe Gareus was just in the middle of a game of Hide and Seek?
What a couple of years thus far! Lets kick off with a double page spread, hope its ‘Big Enough’ for you ;-)
For those scratching their heads over the above, see below (you can thank me later):
To be continued...
OUR FIRST dOUBLE PAGE SPREAD. gAREUS THE HEROIC STRIKES AGAIN ;-)
Phew! Wow a 10 page arc with NoExp!! There will be a blog post coming out on this site soon covering my explorations into pixel art and also just what fun it was to tip Gareus' smelly toe into the world of Questria.
The final page, back in Gareus' Fintrasia to follow SOON! What was in that box? How did Gareus get home? and just what has happened to Gareus' mighty storytelling slippers? All will be revealed soon...
