Book 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.

Classic George RR Martin.......2007-10-19
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.
just so you know.......2007-10-17
Although a well written comic book, a comic book is not what I was expecting so I wasn't totally pleased with it.
Great illustrations and story.......2007-08-23
I'm not a huge comic book fan but I'm a huge George Martin fan. After ordering this gorgeous looking book, I was very pleased with the story and illustrations contained within. It filled in some backstory to the SOIF world and I definitely recommend it.
Martin fans will love it........2007-06-05
Althought the story is not new, Marvel has put together a wonderfully packaged and presented version of The Hedge Knight.
If you have already read it or own a previous version, than it is probaly not worth buying, it is the same except for the presentation. However, if you do not already own the Hedge Knght in paper back or seperate comic form, than this is the version to buy. It is basically all six comic books in one binding. The 6 original comics from Dabel Bros. had 2 cover art versions you could purchase for each volume. This book has all 12 cover art peices in it wich is nice. The artwork really makes the story come to life.
If you are a fan of George R.R. Martin, and like his Ice and Fire series, than you should read this. Even though it is a graphic novel, wich is a fancy word for "big comic book" and that may turn some readers away, It is set in Westeros 150 years before the Ice and fire series. After reading the Hedge Knight, I re-read the Ice and Fire novels and found alot of references made back to the Hedge knight characters and events helping me understand some of the history of Westeros.
For those unfamiliar, The story is of Ser Duncan the Tall, his squire Egg,(these books are sometimes callled Dunk and Egg novels) and a certain famous tourney. Included are Characters from House Targayen, Baratheon, Swann, Fossaway, Lannister and many more that Maritn fans will recognize.
The Hedge Knight continues its story in 'Legends II' as a short story called 'The Sworn Sword'. But if you like the Graphic novel format, Dabel Bros. comics is releasing 'the Sworn Sword' in comic form in June of 07. Hopefully that series will be realeased as one volume such as this one eventually. If it does I will not hesitate to buy it.
An excellent graphic novel.......2007-04-17
"The Hedge Knight" is a novella based on the "Song of Ice and Fire" series by George R.R. Martin, and takes place 100 years before the events depicted in A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, Book 1). This is the first book regarding Martin's "Tales of Dunk and Egg" stories, and follow the exploits of a Hedge Knight (basically a knight who is not employed) named Dunk and his squire named Egg. THIS IS A GRAPHIC NOVEL (comic book) based on the story that was originally published in Legends: Short Novels By The Masters of Modern Fantasy, and follows Ser Dunk as he enters a jousting tournament only to find he is soon fighting for more than just recognition.
For anyone who has read the Song of Ice and Fire series, "The Hedge Knight" follows the same writing style. Although the characters are new, most of the names have been mentioned by Martin in his previous books. I found that I had to do a little research after I read it to understand the families and who exactly the characters were as they relate to present events, but once I did I was pretty impressed with how well Martin had tied the stories together, as this novella focuses on the Targaryen family, who is only mentioned according to their past exploits in A Game of Thrones. That being said, no knowledge of the later books is necessary to enjoy the story, and fantasy, medieval, and comic fans should enjoy "A Hedge Knight" as a standalone graphic novel. It definitely makes it more enjoyable to have read the other series going into it though.
Although I am familiar with comics, this is the first graphic novel I have ever purchased, and is well worth the price. It is hardbound and well produced, printed with high quality paper and has a beautiful cover. I would definitely recommend this "premiere hardcover" edition over the second edition that is currently being sold, especially since the pricing is similar. The adaptation is written by Ben Avery, who does a fantastic job of accurately translating the novella to this medium. The artwork is by Mike S. Miller and is even more exceptional. The characters in "The Hedge Knight" are not as developed as those from Martin's other books and this story doesn't have as much suspense or the plot twists we've come to expect, but as a short story it certainly entertains and provides another look at the world Martin has created, as well as giving insight into some of the names Martin has only touched upon in previous books. Given the choice, I am also glad I read it for the first time in the graphic novel, rather than the short story that was printed in the Legends anthology.
The Dunk and Egg stories are continued in the short story, "The Sworn Sword," which can be found in Legends II: Dragon, Sword, and King and will be out as a comic book in the Summer of 2007.

Buy the hardcover edition over this.......2007-04-17
*** In 2004, The Hedge Knight was published. A year after that, this Second Edition was published, which contains a few new pages of artwork for some of the individual characters as the only difference. A year after that Hedge Knight Volume 1 Premiere HC (Book Market Edition) (Hedge Knight) was published, which is hardcover, a little higher quality, and contains a few pages of artwork on the house sigils. The Hardcover edition is superior to both of those and should be purchased instead of this second edition. There is minimal difference in price. ***

great!.......2007-01-16
George R. R. Martin's stories are always great, but the artwork in this volume really brings them to life! I'd highly recommend it to anyone that enjoys his work.
The Hedge Knight.......2007-01-10
the Hedge Knight is not a traditional novel. It is instead a graphic novel written in the comic book style. If you enjoy the G.R.R. Martin novels, this story is a must have. Its set about 90 years before the books and provides a great back story to some of the people and places that appear later in the books. The illustrations also serve to bring the world of Westeros to vivid life and the last part displays the sigil's of each House. The Hedge Knoght is a quick read but a good one.
Same Great Story Only With Pictures.......2006-11-10
While my first into GRRM's work was A Game of Thrones, I've managed to get my hands on several of his books, including several (at the time) out of print anthologies. I first caught this story in the Legends series of short stories. It became an instant favorite. The graphic novel adds fantastic visuals to the same great short story.
Like other stories in the world of a Song of Ice and Fire, GRRM explores honor and sacrifice using the world of knights. The characters are, well, the stuff of legend.

Solid adaptation of Martin's short novel.......2006-08-28
I was a bit skeptical when I heard that someone was going to adapt George R.R. Martin's Hedge Knight short story into graphic novel format, but I love comics so I gave it a try.
The original Hedge Knight story, which appeared in the Legends anthology, was my introduction to Martin and his epic Song of Ice and Fire series. To be blunt, his writing ruined me for just about every other fantasy author. Nearly every other fantasy writer pales in comparison.
So how did the Hedge Knight, a relatively straightforward tale about a knight who attends a tourney and finds himself entangled in the affairs of princes, translate into comic book form?
While Ben Avery's adaptation covers all of the main points of the story, it just doesn't have the same feeling. He does an admirable job, but it's still missing something intangible that the prose story gives the reader. I wish I could explain it better, but the feeling you get after reading this volume is similar to when you see a movie that has been adapted from one of your favorite books. It never quite measures up.
Mike Miller's artwork is the book's saving grace. His renderings of Martin's characters matched the pictures I had in my head from reading the story so closely it was downright eerie. From the epic battles to the mundane sequences, Miller's artwork is a major enhancement to the overall storytelling. Seeing his interpretation of Martin's characters is more than worth the price of admission.
This trade paperback collects the entire Hedge Knight limited series, plus a new story that leads into the second Hedge Knight story from Legends II. It may not please all George R.R. Martin fans (especially those who couldn't figure out that this was a graphic novel ), but it is a worthy attempt at adapting the story, and is well worth checking out.
This is NOT a novel!!!!.......2005-10-12
This is a COMIC BOOK. For those RR Martin fans please understand that this is a graphic novel. . aka comic book.
Excellent Tale of Chivalry.......2005-07-04
To begin with, I have enjoyed the Song of Fire and Ice from the beginning, and I have been itching for the new book for some time. When I heard there was a graphic novel, I was both interested and disappointed. The first because it was another tale in a very interesting setting. The second because A Feast of Crows had been running late and would rather have had the book instead of the graphic novel. Upon reading the graphic novel, I found all of my fears allayed and that the book does more than just add to the setting of the Song of Fire and Ice.
I was pleased to find that the novel used figures that had been mentioned in previous book. It allowed me not just to hear about them through other character's accounts and histories, but I was able to 'see' them for myself. The book added further depth to the already expansive world.
I also discovered that the novel was based on a short story previously published in an anthology in LEGENDS, edited by Robert Silverburg. The story had been adapted to the comic book format later. Knowledge that the novel was based on a previously published story allayed any frustration I was feeling about Feast.
Most importantly though, beyond my obsession with the Song of Fire and Ice, the story was an excellent display of chivalry and character. How the virtues of knighthood of protecting the innocent and poor combat with the corruption that grows among the nobility who make up this same order. The character is taught as a Hedge Knight he is the truest form of a knight, with no other allegiance than to his vows.
I highly recommend this book not just for fantasy enthusiasts, but it is also a good moral tale, which is not necessarily straight forward.
voice of the author shines through.......2005-06-11
At first I was going to avoid this since I felt a comic book doesn't live up to the Song of Fire and Ice series, but as I began reading I was instantly caught up in the familiar voice of the author we have come to enjoy so much.
Martin's voice was unmistakeable as we saw the descriptions, the way the characters spoke and thought. You know how he throws in italics in the wry analytical way his characters think.
As for the art work, I am not very knowledgable there, but it was full color and well drawn as far as I could tell.
I do think that if one has not read the three song of fire and ice books that are out, or at least the first two this comic doesn't stand well on it's own. It's much easier to appreciate when one is familiar with the noble families and background history of the Dragon kings.
It occurs one hundred years before a game of thrones, but has many familiar noble families and a couple new ones and most notably a look at the Dragon kings and how mad some are (like Vyseris) and how wise and sane others are (like Dany). Robert Baratheon's ancestor laughing as he fights in the tournament is typical of the jovial side of the Baratheon family that simply enjoys life.
At the back there are even a few pages of heraldry, helping us imagine the sea of banners one might except in the actual books.
Overall a definite recommend for fans of the series, but not sure if it's good entry level material

The fourth and final part of the Legends anthology, in audio format.......2005-09-01
The Runner of Pern by Anne McCaffrey
A young woman from a family of "runners" of news, is sent on her first long run and gets knocked off the path into dangerous sickle bushes. She ends up at a station house until she can heal and bumps in to the man who ran her off the path, and ends up falling for him in the end.
I was bored with this one. I'm sure there was supposed to be more to this story then I got but it just wasn't appealing enough to keep my interest. I liked the touch of romance found in this story, and the concept of how news gets around in this world is enjoyable, but other then that, this story left something to be desired.
The Wood Boy by Raymond E Feist: I already forget most of this story. A compound is attacked and everyone slain but the young wood boy and a young girl with whom he is friends. The girl was taken by the murderer and the wood boy goes to rescue her, only to have disastous results.
This book was not appealing to me and I didn't get anything out of it, hence why I already forget most of it, even having just "read" it a week ago. I suppose it could have been a good story as it started out interesting, and the series it stems from may be a good one, but I'm not going to try any more of them just now.
The Hedge Knight by George R R Martin
A young squire is knighted just before his master knight dies. Dunk, the former squire, goes off to compete in a tourney. Along the way, he takes on a young orphaned boy as his squire who is not at all what he seems. All comes out in the open when Dunk the knight defends a young woman against one of the cruel princes and he finds he must face the consequences of what happened.
This was the most interesting of the three stories in this volume. I'm actually interested in this one and following along quite nicely, not getting distracted in the middle of it. I love the idea of medieval knghts standing up for honor and support of those in need. It must be the romantic in me who enjoys this sort of thing.

Charlotte Perkins Gilman's newly discovered last major novel spoofs detective novels and challenges the hidden shame of domestic abuse years before it was a public issue. Wade Vaughn, a sadistic attorney, is murdered by five different methods--and leaves behind a long list of potential perpetrators. Detective team Jim and Bessie Hunt pick their way through their investigation, turning up a surprise heroine, disabled Jacqueline "Jack" Warner, whose journal--Gilman-style (The Yellow Wall-Paper)--reveals not only Vaughn's final moments but also the abuse that has been hidden in his family despite the deaths of two of its female members. A historical landmark, a mystery, a comedy, and a social statement, all in one!
Book Description
Written in the late 1920s and never before published, this mystery by the author of such early feminist classics as The Yellow Wall-Paper is a major literary find. Gilman's first and only detective novel recounts the murder of a pernicious attorney who has been shot, stabbed, bludgeoned, strangled and poisoned. The husband-and-wife detective team present a model of true partnership, while the unfolding details of the case offer poignant evidence of the injustice that poor and powerless women can suffer at the hands of a brutal man. Gilman weaves her case for women's freedom and empowerment into a mystery rich in twists and turns, colorful characters, red herrings, suspense and wry humor.

A vintage whodunit.......2001-10-19
A vintage whodunit, this book includes wry humour, a subtle feminist commentary regarding women in 1920's society & even a butler!
