Julius Zebra

Julius Zebra series.
Zebra Julius and his animal friends (Rumble with the Romans!) continue their gladiatorial adventures, this time being sent to Londinium to fight Celtic gladiators while trying to escape from their Roman captors. The protagonists are still awkward, gangly, and mostly clueless, but the silly story's irreverent humor and goofy, black-and-white cartoon illustrations on every page should entertain readers.

Julius Zebra series.
Julius the zebra and other African animals are kidnapped and brought to Rome. Rather than be slaughtered in the Colosseum, they choose to fight as gladiators themselves. Suspension of disbelief is a must, but it won't be difficult to achieve: this irreverent, high-energy story is filled with action and humor, with each page punctuated by goofy, frenetic illustrations.
