''[[http://bird-boy.com/ Bird Boy]]'' is a fantasy webcomic set in a world where a great hero went into a forest and freed the light that the villain had trapped, and was trapped himself.

Bali, a small boy with a big bird-beak headdress, sets out hunting on his own after his elders have put off teaching him to next year. Led by a bird he stumbles on a forest where it is summer, and from there, to stranger things.

It can be read at [[http://bird-boy.com/ http://bird-boy.com/]]. (The full archived Volumes I and II are now back on line.)
