Dork Tower
''Dork Tower'' is an online comic created, written and drawn by John Kovalic. It chronicles the lives of a group of geeks living in the fictional town of Mud Bay, Wisconsin. Mud Bay's design is strongly influenced by the author's home town of Madison, Wisconsin. Topics have included role-playing games (RPGs), comic books, video games, and fandom in general. The comic strip began in January 1997 and has made appearances in publications like ''Dragon'' magazine, ''Shadis'', and ''Comic Shop News''. Starting in 2000, the strip began web publication roughly three times a week and is featured in ''Pyramid''. The bimonthly comic book made its first appearance in 1998 and features continuing storylines. It has recently gone to full color with issue #32, and it is collected in trade paperback.
During its first year in ''Dragon'', ''Dork Tower'' was called ''Shop Keep'', making the comics focusing on Bill Blyden and Pegasaurus Games a separate series from the comics focusing on Matt and his group that were published elsewhere (although the ''Dork Tower'' cast, especially Igor, also appeared in ''Shop Keep'' as customers). This was later discontinued, and subsequent Pegasaurus-based strips were also titled ''Dork Tower''.〔 The name is a cacographic of the Judges Guild Advanced Dungeons & Dragons module ''Dark Tower''.〔
