Erfworld

Erfworld is a story-driven fantasy/comedy webcomic about a master strategy gamer stuck in a wargame. The first book, The Battle for Gobwin Knob was written by Rob Balder and illustrated by Jamie Noguchi. It was recognized as one of the top 10 graphic novels of 2007 by Time Magazine. The second book, Love is a Battlefield is instead illustrated by Xin Ye. Erfworld is also currently being published as a bi-weekly mobile comic by Robot Comics.

Erfworld follows a graphic novel format, with a new page added with each update. The setting is Erfworld, a fantasy world that adheres to the rules of a turn-based strategy wargame. The narrative focuses on a complex story about warring factions within this world, but most installments also contain humor about strategy-fantasy video games, role-playing games, and references to history or popular culture. There are frequent puns and side-gags, as well as letter changes in frequently used names, particularly replacing "r" with "w" (spidews, dwagons and twolls instead of spiders, dragons and trolls). The comic was originally started as an attempt to bring all of author Rob Balder's Fantasy-related strips from his other comic, PartiallyClips, into the same universe and tell a story with them.
