Tiny Tyrant

A collection of six comics featuring King Ethelbert, a six-year-old tyrant who expects odd things from the people of his kingdom.

The adventures of Ethelbert, the six-year-old spoiled rotten king of Portocristo, whose childish edicts keep his subjects jumping.

In Portocristo, anything six-year-old King Ethelbert says goes, no matter how bizarre or harebrained. He transports himself back in time to meet a dinosaur, swaps his country's kids for Ethelbert robots, tests his bodyguard's mettle by putting a price on his own head, and shrinks the world down to his size.

Six-year-old King Ethelbert, with his whims and outrageous demands, creates havoc around the palace and tries the patience of his servants and subjects alike.

Reports and proceedings of the society are included in each volume.
