Volume 1 - 1st printing. "Here There be Goblins!"
Based on the Podcast by Clint McElroy, Griffin McElroy, Travis McElroy, and Justin McElroy. Adapted by Clint McElroy and Carey Pietsch. Art and cover by Carey Pietsch.
Based on the McElroy family's smash hit podcast, a graphic novel following the metafictional adventures of three D&D characters and their interfering Dungeon Master, with art from rising star Carey Pietsch. Harken to my tale. Once upon a time (a couple of years ago) there were these brothers who had a bunch of really successful podcasts, and they decided to do a new podcast with their dad, where they all played D&D together as a family, and lo, this new podcast was called The Adventure Zone, and verily did it get downloaded over 10 million times, and wow did it totally eat the brains of all who listened, because: It was just. That. Rad. And then did these guys team up with artist Carey Pietsch, and make a graphic novel where the weirdly sweet and brilliant but also super vulgar and honestly kind of bizarre story of The Adventure Zone got adapted into a goofy, innovative, and compelling graphic novel!
Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 256 pages, full color.

Volume 2 - 1st printing. "Murder on the Rockport Limited!"
Based on the Podcast by Clint McElroy, Griffin McElroy, Travis McElroy, and Justin McElroy. Adapted by Clint McElroy and Carey Pietsch. Art and cover by Carey Pietsch.
Hot on the heels of The Adventure Zone: Here There Be Gerblins, the smash hit graphic novel that launched the series, Murder on the Rockport Limited picks up the saga where volume 1 left off. Both books are based on The Adventure Zone, a tabletop RPG comedy podcast with downloads numbering in the tens of millions and an army of passionately devoted fans.
We rejoin hero-adjacent sort-of-comrades-in-arms Taako, Magnus, and Merle on a wild careen through a D&D railroad murder mystery. This installment has a little of everything: a genius child detective, an axe-wielding professional wrestler, a surly wizard, cursed magical artifacts, and a pair of meat monsters. You know, the usual things you find on a train.
Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 240 pages, full color.

Volume 3 - 1st printing. "Petals to the Metal!"
Based on the Podcast by Clint McElroy, Griffin McElroy, Travis McElroy, and Justin McElroy. Adapted by Clint McElroy and Carey Pietsch. Art and cover by Carey Pietsch.
Clint McElroy and sons Griffin, Justin, and Travis hit the road again with Taako, Magnus and Merle, the beloved agents of chaos from the #1 New York Times bestselling graphic novels.
Our boys have gone full-time at the Bureau of Balance, and their next assignment is a real thorny one: apprehending The Raven, a master thief who's tapped into the power of a Grand Relic to ransack the city of Goldcliff. Local life-saver Lieutenant Hurley pulls them out of the woods, only to throw them headlong into the world of battle wagon racing, Goldcliff's favorite high-stakes low-legality sport and The Raven's chosen battlefield.
Will the boys and Hurley be able to reclaim the Relic and pull The Raven back from the brink, or will they get lost in the weeds?
Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 272 pages, full color.

Volume 6 - 1st printing. "The Suffering Hour!" Based on the Podcast by Clint McElroy, Griffin McElroy, Travis McElroy, and Justin McElroy. Adapted by Clint McElroy, Griffin McElroy, and Carey Pietsch. Art and cover by Carey Pietsch. Taako, Magnus, and Merle are near the end of their quest to collect the seven Grand Relics, dangerous magical artifacts which threaten the world as they know it. The penultimate item on their adventuring to-do list is the Animus Bell, which The Director tells them is hidden at the heart of Wonderland, a carnival of torment. Once inside, the boys will have their shot at winning the Bell...but each step forward comes at a horrible cost. And the deeper they go - the closer they get - the higher a price they'll pay. And if they can secure the Bell, surely then the worst will be over, right? They're so close to the end, after all, and they've gone through so much to get this far. There can't possibly be any further surprises in store... Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 272 pages, full color. Cover price $19.99.
