Ben Avery verí v potrebu pozitívnej zábavy pre všetky vekové kategórie. Jeho diela, vrátane grafického románu TimeFlyz a komiksovej série ArmorQuest, nielenže čitateľov zaujmú napínavým príbehom, ale tiež ich podnecujú k tomu, aby sa postavili a zmenili svet okolo seba. Averyho talent pre písanie komiksov bol prvýkrát rozpoznaný, keď ho George R.R. Martin vybral pre adaptáciu scenára k fantasy minisérii The Hedge Knight. Odvtedy Avery spolupracoval na mnohých ďalších oceňovaných projektoch, čím si upevnil svoju pozíciu v žánri.
Die sagenhafte und fantastische Geschichte des Heckenritters, die Vorgeschichte zu George R. R. Martins grandioser Saga "Game of Thrones", geht weiter. Nach dem großen Turnier zieht der Heckenritter nun in die Welt hinaus, um sich seinen Status zu verdienen - und trifft dabei auf Neid und Intrigen und auf wahrlich seltsame Wesen, von denen nichts in den Ritter-Handbüchern steht!
Ein Jahrhundert vor den Ereignissen, die in der epischen Romanserie "Das Lied von Eis und Feuer" des New-York-Times-Bestsellerautors George R. R. Martin beschrieben werden, spielen die Ereignisse dieser Graphic Novel. Diese fantastisch aufgemachte Comic-Geschichte basiert auf George R. R. Martins Kurzgeschichte "Der Heckenritter" und ist die Vorgeschichte zu "Game of Thrones".
A full-color graphic novel edition of The Mystery Knight, one of the thrilling
Dunk and Egg novellas from George R. R. Martin's A Knight of the Seven
Kingdoms and a prequel of sorts to A Game of Thrones Every wedding needs a
singer, and every tourney needs a mystery knight. Westeros is eerily peaceful.
King Aerys I sits on the Iron Throne. A ravaging plague has abated. Yet
beneath the surface, tensions linger sixteen years after a failed rebellion.
In these restless times, noble hedge knight Ser Duncan the Tall-Dunk, to his
friends-and his precocious boy squire, Egg, travel the Seven Kingdoms
performing chivalrous deeds, though Egg's bloodline must be concealed at all
costs. After heading north for Winterfell, Dunk and Egg are lured off the
kingsroad by a wedding feast-and an unusually lucrative tournament. The
champion jouster will claim a rare trophy indeed: a dragon's egg. Dunk, always
better in a melee, would be satisfied with a hot meal, a cup of wine, and a
purse full of coins. But a treasonous plot is more likely to hatch before
another dragon ever stretches its wings. Someone's on to Egg. And a mystery
knight with designs on an even bigger prize soon throws the entire affair into
chaos.
Dunk the Tall and Egg enter Standfast, a region beset by drought. The battle over the water from the only stream leads to animosity between Ser Eustace and Lady Rohanne, the Red Widow.
"ArmorQuest is the allegorical journey of a boy named Timothy who finds his world turned upside down when the minions of the evil Dragon Prince invade his land. When the people of his town choose to ignore the danger, young Timothy chooses to leave his village to join the Knights of the Way, followers of the Emperor. Along the way, he meets some strange companions and encounters dangerous enemies, while learning to rely on the tools of the Emperor ... the armor of the Knights of the Way."--Page 4 of cover.
