Dark Horse working on The Witcher comic

Dark Horse are bringing together the words of Paul Tobin (Bandette) and the art of Joe Querio (Lobster Johnson, B.P.R.D.), with Dave Johnson (100 Bullets) providing cover art, for a new comic based on The Witcher. The new story will once again focus on the star of both the novels by Andrzej Sapkowski and the RPGs by CD Projekt Red, Geralt of Rivia.

"We're very happy to be working with Dark Horse Comics, which is one of the biggest and most interesting comic book publishing houses in the world. What makes it even more exciting is the fact that, for many of us, the Dark Horse logo has near legendary status, standing for classic characters such as Hellboy or Usagi Yojimbo. We're very happy to be once again expanding The Witcher universe," said CD Projekt Red's Adam Badowski.

A few plot details have been released along with the announcement: "Travelling near the edge of the Black Forest, in the land of the Angren, monster hunter Geralt meets a widowed man whose dead and murderous wife resides in an eerie mansion known as the House of Glass. With its endless rooms and horror around every corner, Geralt will have to use all his witcher prowess to solve the manor's mystery and survive."

The first issue will be available to fans on March 19, 2014, and you can see some cover art below. Whether or not it arrives before the next game, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, remains to be seen, as the third entry in the series is due out sometime next year on PC and next-gen consoles.
