The Mystery Knight: A Graphic Novel (A Song of Ice and Fire Graphic Novels)

The story of Dunk & Egg is my favorite from the Westeros universe. I've been a huge fan of the novellas, and was very impressed with this adaptation into the comic world! The art is stunning and full of detail and color, and the story is written in a way that encompasses the essence of the story without taking away key elements. At the time of me writing this, the Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has just begun to air, and I hope that the show continues to hold up to the quality that this Graphic Novel has placed on it. The other two storylines have been released in paperback, but The Mystery Knight has only been released in hardback. I do wish the others had been released in HB. Highly recommend for any fans of the GOT world, Ren faire enthusiasts, or if you enjoy reenactments (i.e. Medieval Times). The price seems to be holding steady ( and it'll be interesting to see how it changes in relation to the show releasing), so it's just up to the individual if it's in their price range. But HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Not only is this part of the best fantasy series I've ever read, but it is my favorite related saga - the tales of Dunk and Egg. Very nicely illustrated in pen and ink (I favor pen and ink drawings for books) and the stories are a great read. I've read them twice now, and I am sure that in another year or two I will want to read them again. The product quality was good, and Amazon is a pro at shipping books so that they arrive in good condition.

Way better than sworn sword, lot more interesting things going on and conspiracy unraveling. Kinda wished egg was more developed. Duncan finally having proper proper plate armor is refreshing.

CAVEAT: This is a Kindle Edition Review, which considers the story and the medium with separate standards. Story: This is a graphic adaptation of the GRRM short story "The Mystery Knight," which builds more backstory into "A Song of Ice and Fire." If you're new to the series, you should start with "The Hedge Knight." In this story, Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire Egg are making their way north across the Riverlands when they decide to join the festivities of wealthy Lord Butterwell's wedding. There will be a feast and a jousting tourney, with Lord Butterwell's dragon egg as the prize. Duncan tries out some privileges of knighthood for himself and finds them a mixed bag, just as his old master Ser Arlan warned him. Egg, with his eye for social subtleties, senses the political elephant in the castle before Duncan. The knights, the lordly Houses and the exercise of power and symbolism are all themes we get another perspective on, building on the work of "The Hedge Knight," "The Sworn Sword," and other ASOIAF titles. My only quibble with the story, as told, is two lines lost in translation from the short story. At the campfire by the lake, after Ser Kyle tells the salacious story of where Butterwell's dragon egg came from, Dunc makes the quip that "If half those old stories were true, we'd all be bastard sons of old King Aegon." Ser Maynard Plumm ripostes "Who says we aren't?!" Medium: Like Adam Charlton notes in his review, many panels could stand some more zoom. You can't magnify the text or the action and read these beautiful panels like you can in the Kindle GN edition of "The Hedge Knight," "The Sworn Sword," or "Meathouse Man," other GRRM graphic adaptions I own. 3 screenshots are attached I hope that if the novel is reformatted, kindle owners will be alerted.

Wish there were more. These are so damn good. Not easily predictable and the art is fantastic. Story line is captivating

The Mystery Knight is the third installment in the graphic novel adaptation of George R. R. Martin’s “Tales of Dunk and Egg,” and it delivers a satisfying blend of intrigue, action, and Westerosi lore. The story follows Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire Egg as they become entangled in a tournament full of hidden agendas and political tension. The artwork is detailed and dynamic, capturing the gritty medieval feel of the world. Mike S. Miller does a solid job bringing the characters to life, though some readers may prefer more variety in facial expressions or panel layouts. The coloring enhances the atmosphere without overwhelming the line art. The pacing is quick, which works well for graphic novels, but some of the nuance and background from the original novella gets lost in translation. That said, this adaptation still captures the heart of the story—its themes of loyalty, deception, and the burden of knighthood. Whether you’re a longtime A Song of Ice and Fire fan or new to the Dunk & Egg tales, this is a worthy addition to your collection. Just be sure to read the first two (The Hedge Knight and The Sworn Sword) for full context.

The graphic novel adaptation of the third of George R.R. Martin’s Dunk & Egg novellas not only stays true to the original story while also giving it a new dimension with fantastic renderings of all the characters, the locales, and the action. Drawn by artist Mike S. Miller based on the adaptation by Ben Avery, The Mystery Knight immediately builds upon the previous adventure of Ser Duncan (Dunk) the Tall and the future Aegon (Egg) V as they stumble upon conspiracy from an enemy from across the sea. Avery adaptation and Miller’s art effectively brings the novella to life though to be honest some of the character designs while not off-putting or interesting, particularly a character that is attempting to kill Dunk due to jealousy. The appearance of the often-mentioned Lord Bloodraven is particularly amazing, not only the character’s artwork but the double page appearance with him front and center. There was a small change in the order of the story, but it worked well in the flow of the graphic novel and didn’t affect the overall work. The graphic novel adaptation of The Mystery Knight is something every A Song of Ice and Fire fan should get their hands on.

This is a great read. I have come to enjoy these stories of Dunk and Egg ; they have adventure, challenges,even blood but somehow a lighter pen and an innocence which is refreshing inbetween the heaviness which is GoT. The art is wonderful. I have two little beefs: no women in the story..is that the reason men chose to play chicken with horses, metal football padding and long sticks?
