The Witcher is a comic book series that has been published by the American publisher Dark Horse Comics since 2014. It is based on The Witcher media franchise of CD Projekt.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
The stories presented in the series are mostly originals, written not by Andrzej Sapkowski but by other writers; the exception being volume 2, Fox Children, which adapts a story from the anthology Season of Storms.[1][7] The first issue debuted in 2014, with story by Paul Tobin.[1] Although Dark Horse Comics is an American publisher, a significant proportion of artists involved in the project have been Polish.[1] In particular, volume 4 (Of Flesh and Flame) was both written and illustrated solely by Polish artists.[8][9]
It is the second The Witcher comic book series, following the Polish series of the same name published in 1993–1995.[10]
