Epic Fantasy Adventure Dark Fantasy Medieval Fantasy Graphic Novel Action Collector’s Edition
Collectors searching for a first-edition, first-printing hardcover of A Game of Thrones Volume 2 Graphic Novel will appreciate this 2013 Dynamite release, the scarce initial print run that instantly sold out in comic shops. Adapted directly from George R. R. Martin’s original text and story-boarded under his supervision, this oversized tome bridges the gap between book and screen, delivering the Red Keep intrigue, Winterfell drama, and Dothraki action in lavish, panel-by-panel detail that no later reprint has matched for paper quality or color saturation.
Unlike the softcover editions that soon followed, this debut hardcover is printed on heavy art-stock, giving Tommy Patterson’s line work the depth and richness it deserves. The sewn binding lies flat for comfortable reading while the laminated dust jacket protects the investment-grade boards beneath. Condition notes show only a faint corner crease on the inner flap—no writing, chips, tears, or rubbed spine that plague most copies—making this copy well above average for a seven-year-old graphic novel that was read, not warehoused.
For fans of the Song of Ice and Fire saga, this volume covers the pivotal closing chapters of the first novel—Tyrion’s capture, Catelyn’s secret ride, Jon’s vows—rendered in cinematic widescreen panels that pre-date and often out-shine the HBO visuals. Completing a first-edition set of the graphic adaptations is becoming increasingly difficult as later volumes also went into small initial runs; acquiring Volume 2 now safeguards both your reading pleasure and future resale potential in the booming collectibles market for Martin-related material.
