Assassin's Apprentice #1

Dark Horse brings Robin Hobb's beloved fantasy novel to comics form in this opening chapter, adapted by Jody Houser with art by Ryan Kelly and colors by Jordie Bellaire. Anna Steinbauer's cover sets a beautifully atmospheric tone — a young boy wrapped in a green cloak glances back over his shoulder, a brooding castle rising from the misty hills behind him, hinting at a world where destiny and danger share the same landscape. It's a quietly compelling introduction to a story of court intrigue, hidden bloodlines, and the long shadow of a royal keep.
