Dungeons and Dragons. This role playing game was a natural for many folks who enjoyed fantasy and myth. For many centaur fans, the chance to play a centaur couldn't be resisted, and for other players, the chance encounter with one was usually welcomed.
In Dungeons and Dragons, and Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, Centaurs are recognised races. Although usually neutral in the affairs of men, they would strike aliances when it was to their advantage. Usually 'woodland' creatures, they would more often find adventurers, than be found by them. The Slayers' Guide to Centaurs, is an invaluble source of information concerning centaur characters,
In an attempt to open another outlet for D&D fans, a comic, Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, was published, It ran for about 24 issues, and faded away. Considering the swing of comic characters from hero to angsters, it was a bit out of place. And the medevial style of life wasn't what most comic readers were looking for. The use of magic, the variation in art work, and the wild swings in story quality, made it a comic only hard core D&D gamers might read. The inclusion of a centaur as a major character though, made it a must have for centaur fans.
Timoth, the centaur warriorr, and his dwarf associate Onyx had adventures with a group of rogues, theives, magic users, clerics... about any sort of D&D character you can imagine. The visibility and featured role of Timoth is challenged only by that of Prince Argon in The Micronauts". He is a fairly well rounded character with an easy going attitude. Although he will sometimes make a joke poking fun at his 'horse-like', aspects, He also has the proper, 'I am not a horse' attitude of a self respecting centaur, his 'horse' ears make that a hard statement to believe at first glance.
As usual, only the pages featuring centaur charaters are shown. I'll get around to scanning and posting more as I get time or requests.
