Volume 1 - 1st printing. Collects Record of Lodoss War: Chronicles of the Heroic Knight (2000) #1-5. Written by Ryo Mizuno. Art by Masato Natsumoto. Record of Lodoss War is heroic fantasy at its finest, set in a timeless world of knights and elves, gods and witches, that has led to some of the most popular series of animated films and TV series, comics and graphic novels of all time. Chronicles of the Heroic Knight introduces Spark, the young knight-in-training who serves and waits for the day that his name will appear on the list of knights. Although he dreams of being a glorious hero in the wars of Lodoss, he fails in his first assignment from the king, guarding the powerful, magical Crystal Ball of Souls. It is stolen from under his very nose by Dark Elves in the service of the evil Vagnado, the sorceror of Marmo. The beloved Grey Witch characters Deedlit the Elf and Parn the Knight also return to guide and help Spark, but the focus of this series is the new heroes who join Spark in his quest to retrieve the Crystal Ball: Leif, the beautiful half-elf warrior, the brave Gallac, who is also known as the Blue Shooting Star, and the beautiful leather-clad adventuress Laina. This comic series is as exciting as the Heroic Knight anime series, but tells a very different story, richer and with deeper character development. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 8-in., 178 pages, B&W. Cover price $15.95.

1st printing.

Written by Andrewsteven Damsits and Barry Klugerman. Art and cover by Roy G. Krenkel.

Roy G. Krenkel illustrated numerous works by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Robert E. Howard, Lin Carter, and more. But many of Krenkles works-what he calls his "Doodles," in a characteristically self-effacing manner-were rarely seen by even his biggest fans. And while many of Roy's doodles were simple drawings, many were finished illustrations done for the pure pleasure of creating art. Most of the images in this book are published here for the very first time (courtesy of and with the full cooperation of the Krenkel Estate), and nearly all have been painstakingly scanned from the original art (in a manner akin to IDW's Eisner Award-winning Artist's Edition series) with the goal being to showcase Krenkel's gorgeous original art in a way it has never been seen before.

While the realms of science fiction, heroic fantasy, paleontology, and historical reconstruction were particular specialties of Roy's, his pen, brush, and palette knew no boundaries.
