4. "Stinz" by Donna Barr

I love them all (even though I know I'm likely missing some issues.) Here's a link to the first of the series, for those not familiar with him (or Barr) :

“Andri's Christmas Shoes”
The first appearance of Stinz in publication, based on a post-card design that showed Stinz getting a pair of shoes. Stinz promises his young colt Andri his first pair of steel shoes for Christmas. Andri is all excited about it, until the neighbor's colt Veit tells him that the nails will hurt, and the shoes will burn. This is where Barr's publishing career began, in the very first issue of the classic Eclipse Comics series The Dreamery.

Stinz is the story of a centaur, although he'd prefer it if you called him a Half-horse. Stinz is a big blond stallion, black as night on the hair end, whose excellent animal instincts and fine human brain too often cancel each other out. In a series that follows his life from clumsy colt and accidental soldier to legendary war hero and mayor of his small home town, Stinz never fails to be in the middle of his world's events. It's not OUR world, but what difference does that make?
