A series of The Witcher comic books will hit the store shelves next year!From Paul Tobin, the Eisner Award winning writer of Bandette, with art by Joe Querio (Lobster Johnson, B.P.R.D.) and covers by Dave Johnson (100 Bullets), comes a riveting comic based on The Witcher, a series of dark fantasy RPGs with a character-driven, non-linear story set in a gritty and living world.
Inspired by a series of extremely popular novels translated into 19 languages, the comic series introduces a new adventure featuring Geralt of Rivia — a witcher, one of the few remaining monster hunters known from the hit video game franchise.
“We're very happy to be working with Dark Horse Comics, which is one of the biggest and most interesting comic book publishing houses in the world. What makes it even more exciting is the fact that, for many of us, the Dark Horse logo has near legendary status, standing for classic characters such as Hellboy or Usagi Yojimbo. We're very happy to be once again expanding The Witcher universe”, said Adam Badowski, Head of Studio, CD Projekt RED.
Travelling near the edge of the Black Forest, in the land of the Angren, monster hunter Geralt meets a widowed man whose dead and murderous wife resides in an eerie mansion known as the House of Glass. With its endless rooms and horror around every corner, Geralt will have to use all his witcher prowess to solve the manor’s mystery and survive.
“We're very excited to work with CD Projekt Red on The Witcher. With the rich world they have created, and an enthralling central character like Geralt, we feel The Witcher is ripe to tell a compelling story through comics”, said Nick McWhorter, Director of Custom Programs, Dark Horse Comics.

“The story is almost entirely mine,” Tobin, writer of such comics as Colder, Bandette and Plants vs. Zombies: Lawnmageddon, tells Newsarama. “Projekt RED and I decided on a direction during a meeting, but it was more of a feel… a story type… that they were asking for, rather than establishing any plot points. With that in mind, I came up with a couple possibilities, and then they stepped back and let me do my thing. They’ve been fabulous to work with, trusting us with Geralt and his world, letting Dark Horse and I do what we do best.”
