Background
Background
Amy Unbounded is set in the fictional fantasy kingdom of Goredd and features shape-shifting dragons that are capable of assuming human form. The story follows Amy, a nine-year-old girl whom Hartman has compared to "Anne of Green Gables and Harriet the Spy" in terms of personality. The series has had two spinoffs, a prose novel entitled Seraphina and the webcomic Return of the Mad Bun. Hartman has stated that she chose to incorporate the dragons shape changing into humans because she found dragons harder to illustrate. Hartman chose to self-publish after facing rejection from traditional publishers, eventually publishing issues 7-12 of the series in a collected volume with funds received from a Xeric Grant.
Reception
Reception for the series has been positive, with Publishers Weekly favorably comparing it to the writing of Laura Ingalls Wilder. Strange Horizons called it "one of the small treasures of contemporary fantasy". In 2010 Time Techland listed the comic as one of "ten comics that should run forever".
