The Witcher series has seen many incarnations, including video games, books, and a TV series, but its comic books are arguably the most diverse from a creative standpoint. Many writers and artists have contributed to The Witcher's comics universe, each offering their own spin on the monster-hunting adventures of Geralt of Rivia--but soon, English-speaking fans will finally get to experience the first-ever Witcher comics series thanks to the upcoming The Witcher: Classic Collection from Dark Horse. Set to release on March 18, 2025, The Witcher: Classic Collection is available to preorder now for $30 at Amazon.
Dark Horse sent GameSpot an early look at the collection's cover art, which we can exclusively reveal below.
The Witcher: Classic Collection collects the original comic series published in Poland between 1993 and 1995, and translates them into English for the first time. The series, written by Maciej Parowski and drawn by Bogusław Polch, adapted The Witcher creator Andrzej Sapkowski's first book of short stories featuring Geralt of Rivia.
Dark Horse's new 296-page paperback collection includes all six issues from the series--titled “The Road of No Return,” “The Betrayal,” “Geralt,” “The Lesser Evil,” and “The Last Wish”--with their original full-color artwork and an all-new English translation.
The Witcher book and comics deals
In the meantime, now is also the perfect time to dig into The Witcher book series, thanks to awesome deals on multiple Witcher box sets. You'll want to start with The Witcher Stories Box Set, which contains The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny, short story collections that serve as the first two books in the series. You can buy this paperback set for $20 (was $35). After reading the stories, check out The Witcher Box Set, a larger collection containing five novels. This set is available for $40 at Amazon, saving you over 50% from its $90 list price. Those two sets contain the whole mainline series, but Sapkowski also wrote a standalone novel, Season of Storms ($12 in paperback at Amazon), which is meant to be read last.
If you prefer hardcover books, Sapkowski's eight Witcher novels are also discounted at Amazon, and the story collections even have beautiful illustrated editions.
Meanwhile, The Witcher's newer comic book series is available across two paperback omnibuses for $18 each (40% off).
