We’re Not In Kansas Anymore: Fantasy World Map

Chronicles of Narnia Dan Meth earth sea Fantasy Labyrinth Lord of the Rings map Oz sodor

Cartoonist Dan Meth has completed what he regards as the complete map of the Fantasy Universe, leading one to wonder how exactly border disputes are handled between, say, Krull and Oz. Drawing from comics, books, movies, and video games, the map is very inclusive in its approach covering just about any realm you’d care to wander through. Bonus points if you can name them all without Googling.

The map is part of a series of popculture graphs. Geekosystem readers may enjoy his Trilogy Meter or his Futuristic Movie Timeline.

Sodor? Isn’t that Thomas The Tank Engine? Over Conan or Atlantis?

The map is, hmm… mildly entertaining at best.
