Fortune Quest #1

Fortune Quest #1 was published in 1993 by Comico Comics, marking the beginning of a fantasy adventure series that sought to capture the spirit of tabletop role-playing games. Created by writer Mike Baron and artist Neil Vokes, the series followed a group of adventurers as they navigated a world reminiscent of classic Dungeons & Dragons campaigns, emphasizing team dynamics and high-fantasy stakes.

The design of the series relied on Neil Vokes' clean, expressive line work, which was well-regarded for its clarity and consistency. The comic emerged during a period when independent fantasy titles were attempting to carve out a niche alongside major superhero publishers. While it remains a cult item for fans of 1990s indie comics, the series is remembered primarily for its earnest approach to the sword-and-sorcery genre.
