Words

Not only has Flipside an attractive protagonist, it has an original fantasy setting and unique style to boot. The storyline revolves around Maytag, the afore-mentioned jester-girl, Bernadette, a skilled warrior & Maytag's lover, and Crest, a rookie poker cheat who has crush on Maytag. (Co-starring: Bloody Mary, a demon, who gets merry when things get bloody.)

I really like the drawing, its distinctiveness. The people, the architecture, they clearly stand out compared to other comics. The drawing is black and white, except for the chapter covers and a couple extra pages. The covers are usually colored by a guest artist.

Merchandise

Six books, each covering 5 chapters. Lots of nice extras, side stories, character profiles, maps, and the intermission strips.
