Land of Lisp: learn to program in Lisp, one game at a time!

So, you’ve decided to pick up a book on Lisp and read the introduction. Perhaps you were surprised to see something that looks like a comic book mixed in with the other computer programming books on the shelf. Who would bother writing a comic book about a weird academic programming language like Lisp? Or maybe you’ve heard other people raving about the Lisp language and thought, “Boy, Lisp sure sounds different from other languages people talk about. Maybe I should pick up a Lisp book sometime.” Either way, you’re now holding a book about a programming language that is very cool but also very unusual.
