"The Wild Cards World holds a special place in my heart, so to have the privilege of announcing that an industry titan like MARVEL is going to produce the narrative from the beginning as a comic book brings me no end of joy." - George R. R. Martin

This is an adaptation of The Hedge Knight, a novella written by George R.R. Martin and the first part of 'The Tales of Dunk of and Egg'. The Dunk and Egg stories are prequels to A Song of Ice and Fire (or Game of Thrones if you're a show watcher), taking place a little less than a hundred years before the beginning of the series. It's the Martin equivalent of The Hobbit in that it's a lot less grim and violent than the main series (although there is still some violence later on) and lighter in tone overall. And if you're a fan of Brienne of Tarth... George. R.R. Martin has revealed that she is descended from Dunk, the hero of this story.

In regards to the publisher... the first three issues were published by Image and the second three were by Devil's Due Publishing. Marvel went on to publish the trade and later released the sequel. Those editions are now out of print but have been reprinted by Jet City Comics. The whole thing is complicated.

Marvel have announced they are doing a "new" Wild Cards series!



Click to embiggen the lovely cover for #1 by Steve Morris. (That is one SERIOUSLY pretty Jetboy!)

For the first time in comic book form, witness the very beginning of the Wild Cards mythos with an adaptation of the very first stories in the original Wild Cards novel. Based on stories by Harold Waldrop, Roger Zelazny and series master-mind and editor, George R.R. Martin, Wild Cards is a fascinating saga set in a whole new world reshaped by the emergence of superpowers. The limited series, titled THE DRAWING OF CARDS, will be written by a team of comic superstars, writer Paul Cornell and artist Mike Hawthorne, and serve as a perfect entry point for Wild Cards newcomers and a must-have new reimagining for Wild Cards aficionados!

"Those of you who know me only from A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE may be wondering, what the hell is MEATHOUSE MAN?? The short answer is, 'one of my old SF short stories'. (Actually, a novelette).

The long answer is, 'the darkest, bleakest, sickest, most twisted thing I ever wrote.'"
- George R.R. Martin

This will probably appeal more to people who are familiar with the series A Song of Ice and Fire or the TV show Game of Thrones. Lots of exposition to deliver if you haven't, although the following pages mostly stand on their own.

Those who have read the books know that they cut out a major scene from the show; the one where Sandor Clegane tells Sansa Stark the story about his scars. It's to this day IMO one of the worst things they did. Fortunately, the comics saw fit to include it. This is from the ninth issue of the series.

Finally a trigger warning for a scene of child abuse.
