Summary

"Discworld is more complicated and satisfactory than Oz."

--A.S. Byatt

The Color of Magic and The Light Fantastic--the first two volumes of Terry Pratchett's phenomenally successful, New York Times bestselling Discworld series--are now available in this special anniversary graphic novel edition. Strikingly illustrated and painstakingly adapted, The Discworld Graphic Novels brings Prachett's bizarre, outrageous--yet strangely familiar--universe of wizards, witches, vampires, bureaucrats, policemen, golems, dwarves, and living luggage to bold, visual life. The Houston Chronicle calls Terry Pratchett, "J.R.R. Tolkien with a sharper, more satiric edge." The Washington Post compares him to Geoffrey Chaucer, while the Chicago Tribune admires his "Monty Python-like plots." But in truth there's no one quite like the incomparable Pratchett--on this world or any other.
