Fantasy Fighters

Fantasy Fighters, a five-issue series from Central Park Media that launched in 1999, pits a roster of original, larger-than-life combatants against one another in a no-holds-barred arena of magical and martial mayhem. The title is best known for its energetic, arcade-influenced action and the distinctive, anime-infused artwork of its primary creative team. Though brief, the series stands as a colorful artifact of the late-'90s crossover between American comics and Japanese-style fantasy gaming, offering a pure, tournament-style thrill ride for fans of the genre.
