"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.

Even better after GRRM signed my copy at Aggie-Con.

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.

Dainris

Beautiful Art by Mike S. Miller and of course the great words of the master himself, George R. R. Martin. I would suggest reading the 4 SOIAF books currently available first and then going back to this nice story while we all wait for A Dance with Dragons.

Thorgaginn

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.

Ger

Although a well written comic book, a comic book is not what I was expecting so I wasn't totally pleased with it.

If you are like me and heard about the Dunk & Egg stories after reading any of the Song of Ice and fire stories, then "Well Met, Kinsman". If you happened to stumble across one of them in an anthology prior to even knowing what "ASOIAF" was....AWESOME!

The Tales of Dunk & Egg, beginning with this title "The Hedge Knight", are some of my favorite short stories I have ever read. You will begin to understand, if not forgive, GRRM for the towering scale in the later ASOIAF novels. Who would want to leave this world?!! Within the scope of a short story, GRRM's hammer and anvil ring true and to the point and Yet his trademark ability to create characters you come to believe will walk off the page and into your living room is in full display. His subtle misdirection, his knowledge of Medieval lore & custom. If you ever wondered what it might be like to be a Knight on an adventure, then read this story!! I recommend the entire set (Hedge Knight, Sworn Sword, Mystery Knight) I have yet to read the 4th installment that is included in the "Dangerous Women" Anthology, but if it is half the fun these 3 were then rest assured, it will be great too.

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.
