A slightly disorganized and somewhat naive interplanetary tourist named Twosome joins up with a bumbling wizard and embarks on a chaotic voyage through a world filled with monsters, dragons, heroes, and knaves.

In a distant and second-hand set of dimensions, in an astral plane that was never meant to fly . . .
Imagine a flat world, sitting on the backs of four elephants who hurtle through space balanced on a giant turtle. The Discworld is a place (and a time) parallel to our own—but also very different. That is the setting for Terry Pratchett's phenomenally successful Discworld series, which now celebrates its twenty-fifth anniversary.
The Discworld Graphic Novels presents the very first two volumes of this much-loved series in graphic novel form. First published fifteen years ago, these fully illustrated versions are now issued for the first time in hardback. Introduced here are the bizarre misadventures of Twoflower, the Discworld's first ever tourist, and possibly—portentously—its last, and his guide Rincewind, the spectacularly inept wizard. Not to mention the Luggage, which has a mind of its own.

Add a CommentThis book is a wonderful view to a comical almost seemingly impossible journey that leads to old heros in need of dentaures, failed sarcastic wizards, idiotic and often mad tourist and more. It is a tale of adventure and comedy. This book is a must read to many fantasy and insult comedy lovers. So please for the sake of all of the Terry Pratchett fans out there, try this book out. (But I do perfer the novels. I suggest you read them)
Terry Pratchett is an amazing author and while I am normally a fan of graphic novels I really feel that Pratchett's stories and style don't translate well to the graphic world. The drawings are good the story is still marginally amusing, but while I smirked a few times reading this adaptation I laughed out loud reading the novels. I said "hmm" a couple of times when reading this while I stared into space for minutes at a time wrestling with philosophical concepts when I read the novels. In short this is not a waste of time but really the novels are infinitely better.
