Latino's The Savage Beard of She Dwarf is a wonderful riff on the Conan legacy of Swords and Sorcery, with goofy humor, quirky monsters and plays upon narrative traditions. She Dwarf fights dragons, shorks (shark-orcs), and a bear armed monster, all while seeking the dwarven homeland lost in time. My only complaint is that sometimes it has odd time jumps between chapters, where you go from one location to the next, with little explanation. There is a quite a bit of cartoon violence in these pages, so it has a solid pre-teen feel to it, but it's engaging enough that an adult would also be interested in it.
