Once upon a time there was a very Slack Wyrm

Slack Wyrm #1-99

by Joshua Wright

Here it is - the first glorious collection of Slack Wyrm! Within you'll find his first 100 comics printed all nice and big and lovely. Since his first appearance in 2016, Ferragus Slackwyrm and his comics have grown to be a hit with fans all over the world. Now finally here he is on your tablet. Read Slack Wyrm's initial foray into webcomics, where he was still just simple, shiftless dragon talking to beloved lair-mate, Sir Corpse. Push on into his expanding world as we meet Otho the cunning crow, the enigmatic Duchess Doris, and Paul the gelatinous cube. Also Lizardman is in there somewhere too. Yes, it's Slack Wyrm - the ongoing story of unconcerned dragon in an uncaring world by Australian artist, Josh Wright. All set in an ill-conceived fantasy realm of fabulous monsters, beautiful princesses, towering castles, creepy woods and the odd house made out of confectionery. There are witches and wizards and talking animals who sometimes wear jackets, but never any pants. Also a few people have smartphones, which makes no sense at all.

I have been reading this comic on the internet and loved it so much that I had to get this book, which collects the first 100 strips. The protagonist, Ferragus Slackwyrm, is a dragon who can breathe fire and wreak destruction, which he sometimes does, but most of the time he is just too lazy. I can relate to that! Besides Ferragus, there is a wonderful cast of supporting characters, such as Hildegard Gretchwyrm (Ferragus's more ambitiously evil sister), Duchess Dory (who is a bit crazy), Otho Crow (the scheming sentry of Slackwyrm Keep), Sir Corpse (who is actually a corpse with his soul still in his body -- he refuses to go to the afterlife because he is a stubborn atheist) and many others. The world of Slackwyrm is wonderfully twisted! I recommend it highly to anyone who likes a healthy dose of humor with their fantasy!

Joshua Wright is brilliant. This lazy sassy dragon is my favorite.

When things are just outright depressing, it's nice to step away to halls of Slackwyrm keep where I feel a very real and profound relief that, by and large, Slackwyrm is doing nothing just like I am and working diligently through napping to contain his sociopathic behaviour. Plus it's nice to watch Otho the Crow go about being just a right nightmare but still weirdly loyal and Duchess Dorris who just got fed up, went insane and is relatively happy having done so. Plus the hilarious references, the ridiculous and wonderful comics and the deep pleasure that only one thing stands between you and taking over the world through fire and death and that's your own incredible laziness.

It's a good message. If you suspect yourself of being filled with incredible violence, malevolence or other exciting things, best to just bog yourself down with laziness and let that emotion and thought process tire itself out.

Would seriously reccomend reading this. Volume 2 is rumoured to be on its way and I am delighted BECAUSE WE WILL GET JANET THE CHICKEN!

Ferragus Slakwyrm is my spirit animal

Love the inner battle in Slackwyrm's every decision, basically "is the reward worth the effort? " Probably not, unless there's cake. Would recommend for anyone with an adult sense of humor who likes comics, dragons, or cake. Not recommended for youngsters unless you want to have some potentially awkward conversations.

This is a funny, sometimes politically incorrect comic I've been following for a couple years. I decided to buy the book as a gift for someone who also enjoys it. There were a few grammatical errors, but I enjoyed the uniqueness of the characters, the art style, and the overall flow of the comics.

I’ve been following these comics for a long time on Tumblr and they are hilarious! I’ve never read them in order before and it was fun to see the first couple of random comics and then seeing Joshua Wright really get into a flow of the story.

I could hardly put it down!

This comic made me laugh again and again and the book was just as good ;)

The character profiles were a great add.

[Jordan Watkins · Rating 5 out of 5]

Literally everything you could want in a comic book.

This is my favourite webcomic

[Petronilla · Rating 5 out of 5]

I had been waiting for this book for so long! I really wanted a book or some sort of collection so that I could re-read every vignette in chronological order without being afraid of missing some. Actually while reading this I discovered I had, in fact, missed quite a few origin stories (Otho Crow anyone? He was so edgy right from the start).

A fun web comic I stumbled upon
