Summary

The A Song of Ice and Fire Prequel comic series adapts George R. R. Martin's "Dunk and Egg" novellas. The story takes place about ninety years before the main A Song of Ice and Fire series, when House Targaryen still ruled the Seven Kingdoms, dragons had not yet died out, and the chivalric spirit of Westeros still endured. The protagonist is a hedge knight who is tall but so poor that he has nothing but a suit of armor, a horse, and his strength—"Dunk the Tall," known as Dunk. After burying his liege lord, he poses as a knight and heads to the Ashford Tourney to seek his fortune, meeting on the way a shaven-headed boy who calls himself "Egg" and taking him on as a squire. Egg's true identity is far more than that of an errand boy, and this hidden identity draws Dunk's adventures into royal disputes and the turmoil of the Trial of Seven. The comic edition is adapted by Ben Avery and illustrated by Mike S. Miller, presenting Westeros's customs, knightly armor, and tournament scenes at a length comparable to the original, with Martin's own consultation and guidance. This volume is the sixth in the series and the final installment in this series of separate volumes; if you do not have the physical book, confirm the specific chapter range included by checking the cover, copyright page, or publisher information.

Editor's review

对看过正传或剧集却始终觉得“冰火世界还没讲完”的读者来说,邓克与伊戈的故事是最好的补完部分。正传里是帝王将相在铁王座上明争暗斗,这里却是一个连盔甲都靠继承、吃饭要看钱包的穷骑士,带着一个来历不简单的光头男孩在乡野与比武场间奔波。漫画的好处是直给:岑树滩的人潮、纹章、长枪相撞的瞬间,都在画面上一次看清,比文字更直观地还原了马丁笔下的骑士年代。本系列改编请到奇幻作家本·艾弗里执笔、迈克·S·米勒绘图,马丁本人亦有参与指导,所以对原著氛围的把握比较稳。这一册是该系列第6册,适合已经入坑、想按册收齐的读者先补前几册再读。

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • 《冰与火之歌》小说与《权力的游戏》剧集的老读者

Not a good fit for

Reading tips

  1. 建议先读同系列前几册,再读本册,以免情节衔接不上

  3. 留意画面中的纹章、服饰与地名细节,它们往往与正传呼应
  4. 若中文版存在不同版本或册数划分,请以手头实物的版权页为准
