The Eye of the World: the Graphic Novel, Volume One excerpt

With the full cooperation of the Jordan estate, The Eye of the World has been turned into a comic book series written by Chuck Dixon and illustrated by Chase Conley. The Eye of the World: The Graphic Novel, Volume One begins Robert Jordan’s epic fantasy tale by introducing Rand al’Thor and his friends Matrim and Perrin at the spring festival. Moiraine Damodred and Lan Mandragoran appear, and almost before Rand knows it, he and his friends are fleeing his home village with Moiraine, Lan, and Egwene al’Vere, the innkeeper’s daughter, who wishes to become an Aes Sedai. The conclusion of this volume leaves the travelers on the road to Baerlon, barely ahead of the pursuing Trollocs and Draghkar. As they run for their lives, Moiraine and Lan begin to teach the young people what they need to know to survive in this dangerous world.

Read an excerpt after the jump, where Rand meets Trollocs for the first time.

About the Author

About Author Mobile

Robert Jordan

Author

Robert Jordan was the pen name under which James Oliver Rigney, Jr., wrote his landmark series The Wheel of Time. Jordan turned to writing after serving two tours in Vietnam as a helicopter gunner and working for a time as a nuclear engineer; in the early 1980's, he worked on Conan the Destroyer for Tor Books, and in 1984, he pitched Tom Doherty his idea for an original fantasy series. Beginning with 1990's The Eye of the World, the series grew immensely popular and influential and is often held up next to the Lord of the Rings as the quintessential epic fantasy.

Jordan would write eleven of a planned twelve volumes before his untimely death in 2007. His wife and editor, Harriet MacDougal, selected Mistborn author Brandon Sanderson to finish the series, using both finished prose and extensive notes left by Jordan.
