Fantasy Comic fantasy is a subgenre of fantasy that is primarily humorous in intent and tone. Usually set in imaginary worlds, comic fantasy often includes puns on and parodies of other works of fantasy. It is sometimes known as Low fantasy in contrast to High fantasy , which is primarily serious in intent and tone. The term Low Fantasy is used to represent other types of fantasy, however, so while comic fantasies may also correctly be classified as low fantasy, many examples of low fantasy are not comic in nature. History The subgenre rose in the latter half of the twentieth century. T.H. White s works exemplify it, ref Lin Carter, ed. Kingdoms of Sorcery , p 121 2. Doubleday and Company Garden City, NY, 1976. ref L. Sprague de Camp and Fletcher Pratt s Harold Shea stories are early exemplars. The overwhelming bulk of de Camp s fantasy was comic. ref Carter. Kingdoms of Sorcery . ref In more modern times, Piers Anthony s Xanth books, Robert Asprin s MythAdventures of Skeeve and Aahz books, Terry Pratchett s Discworld , Tom Holt s books provide good examples, as do many of the works by Christopher Moore author Christopher Moore . Not surprisingly there are also comic strips graphic novels in the humorous fantasy genre, including Chuck Whelon s Pewfell series and the webcomics 8 Bit Theater and The Order of the Stick . The subgenre has also been represented in Fantasy television television and Fantasyfilmfilm , such as in the television series I Dream of Jeannie , Krod Mandoon , and the 1975 film Monty Python and the Holy Grail .
