Product Description:
A century before the events of New York Times best-selling author George R. R. Martin's epic series, A Song of Ice and Fire, a squire named Dunk picks up the sword and shield of his dead master and enters a tournament to begin his career as a knight. But 'Ser Duncan' has much to learn about this world of knights and nobles, and as he attempts to find a sponsor who will allow him to enter the tournament, he makes friends and enemies readily. Dunk is a capable fighter and has a strong sense of honor, but is that enough for him to become a true knight in the eyes of the others, or is he just a young man living a delusion and putting those he knows in grave danger?

I was expecting real book - continuation of Hedge Knight from Legends. So, I was disappointed very much. The beauty of George Martin's books is his language plus characters, fantasy and story itself. Hedge Knight comics remind me Mozart's opera "Marriage of Figaro" without Mozart's music. It is still funny story but not Mozart any more.
Does anybody know - are there real books that continue the Hedge Knight story that was finished as Dunk and Egg are going to Dorn? Did I miss the continuation? I read this story in Russian additions and never in English. All other Marin's books I read both languages.

I don't have too much to add to what others have already said, but I would just like to say that the graphic novel was very true to the feel and plot of the original story by Martin. The art is so impressive that a lot of times I just stared at the larger pictures picking out all the detail I could. It's amazing!! Definately read this book if you are into collecting George R.R. Martin or if you simply love well crafted tales and beautiful art.

Very well done book. I was so glad to see a hardback edition for this great story. The artwork is pretty good and the story was excellent.

OK, so my experience with graphic novels might be limited, but this was amazing. Great artwork, gripping story (can't wait for the subsequent installment...), everything was just right. Plus, having a glimpse at Westeros a few centuries before the happenings of Game of Thrones is well worth the very mild price of this collection.

A graphic novel at its best! This work started on an idea of portraying the New York Time's Best Seller series of George RR Martin's "A Song of Fire and Ice" now on its fourth book. However, Mr. Martin was indignant as a master novel writer - that the portrayal of his series into a graphic novel might not be accurate. The co-authors Ben Avery and Mike Miller were persistent until they convinced Mr Martin by showing him their beautiful art and comic design. Impressed by their work, Mr. Martin finally agreed to make this graphic novel. Concerned with the fact that his series contains thousands of pages, Mr. Martin settled for the prequel to his series for a more accurate portrayal of his masterpeice, hence, the Hedge Knight was born. His ingenious writing was perfectly built to fit the art of the graphic novel.
It's a prequel so it doesn't matter if you have read the "Song of Fire and Ice" series or not. If you haven't read it, this graphic novel is a good starter for the series. If you have read it, this graphic novel would make you appreciate Mr. Martin's masterpeice even more.
The drawings are exquisite and the storytelling flawless. It will be hard to let go of this book once you've started and it's also full of surprises. It keeps you at the edge of your seat and keeps you wanting for more. In the end it teaches you chivalry and its consequences.
