Audiences don’t just love A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms on TV; they also love it enough to read the comic.
Oh, did you know there was a comic adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s The Hedge Knight? It was released in late 2013, and at the time of writing, it sits at #5 on Amazon’s Best Sellers for comics and graphic novels. At the time IGN first reported it, the adaptation was in the #3 spot, ahead of the first volume for Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta’s Absolute Batman and behind volume two of the same.
The second part of the adaptation, The Sworn Sword, is now at #10 (formerly #7), while The Mystery Knight—an adaptation of the 2010 novella of the same name—remains unlisted in the top 100.
Written by Ben Avery and drawn by Mike S. Miller, the two six-issue adaptations cover the initial novellas of their namesakes, and each contains its own bonus material like sketches and character designs. Customer reviews for both are fairly positive, but none date after the premiere of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms in mid-January. (The most recent review is for Hedge on January 5, two weeks before the show starts.)
If you’re feeling Seven Kingdoms fever, both Hedge Knight and Sworn Sword are available on Amazon for $8 a piece digitally and $17-$18 physically.
