“You had me at magic talking eyeball shield. Brett Bean creates a fantasy world like no other! Don’t be a dork, buy D’orc!” —Robert Kirkman, Invincible, The Walking Dead
“Hilarious, vivid, endlessly clever, and filled with heart. The best new comic I’ve read in forever!” —Matt Dinniman, Dungeon Crawler Carl
“D’orc is pure fun and mayhem! Absolutely my kind of book!” —Skottie Young, I Hate Fairyland
The highly anticipated D’orc, Vol. 1 by Brett Bean (Dungeon Crawler Carl: Crocodile, I Hate Fairyland) will collect issues #1-5 of the ongoing, sales-chart-topping hit series into trade paperback this Summer from Image Comics.
The D’orc series has burned through nearly a dozen reprints, has sold over 400K copies in single issue format so far, and is one of the top selling Image Comics titles of the year.
Armed with nothing but a wisecracking enchanted shield and a crippling need for friendship, D’orc follows a lonely orphan who stumbles headfirst into Sunderaine’s never-ending war. Light vs. Dark. Elves vs. Orcs. Wizards vs. Common Sense. Dragons vs. Literally Everyone. And caught dead-center? D’orc. Half dwarf, half orc, and wholly inconvenient to a doomsday prophecy, D’orc is destined to end the world. Soon, every human, elf, goblin, dwarf, Snargletooth, Necroid, Ice Giant, Trauma Llama, and at least three other unpronounceable magical creatures will know his name. Unfortunately, so will his enemies.
Perfect for fans of Conan the Barbarian and The Lord of the Rings, D’orc is an adventure readers won’t want to miss.
D’orc, Vol. 1 trade paperback (ISBN: 9781534331525) will be available at local comic book shops on Wednesday, July 22 and independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, August.
