Courier and Mage is an American adult animated fantasy-comedy series created by Kallo Fox for Adult Swim.
Premise[]
A fugitive from the law, Cio Redwell is a black mage from the Kingdom of Brandsvag, with an abrasive and unscrupulous demeanor. After shaking down someone who looked like an ordinary bandit, a courier delivers a mysterious note to him at the inn the next morning. The note warns Cio that if he doesn't join the infamous Forlorn Daggers gang to repay his debt, a contract will be put out on him and he will be murdered.
The courier, Katelyn Wood, who is already on the run from the same gang, reluctantly joins Cio in his quest to defeat the Forlorn Daggers.

Development[]

Animation[]
The show was traditionally animated, but inked-and-painted digitally.
The series' animation was outsourced to two studios: Rough Draft Studios and Sunmin Image Pictures.
Executive producers and showrunners[]
