Weirdworld was a fantasy series created by Doug Moench and Mike Ploog for Marvel Comics set in a dimension of magic not unlike Middle-earth from "The Lord of the Rings". The protagonists were two elves : Tyndall and Velanna , both from the floating ring-shaped island of Klarn, and an irascible dwarf dubbed Mud-Butt (because he tended to land on his backside in a quarrel).

"Weirdworld" was first seen in the first issue of the black and white magazine Marvel Super Action. Then it was featured in the color comic "Marvel Premiere" #38 (Oct. 1977). Its three part mini-series in "Marvel Super Special", illustrated by John Buscema was heralded at the time for its use of full color paintings throughout.
