The Witcher: The Lesser Evil – Andrzej Sapkowski’s Short Story Adapted into Graphic Novel at Dark Horse

Dark Horse Books has teamed up with CD Projekt Red to bring readers a follow-up to the epic graphic novel The Witcher: A Grain of Truth. The upcoming entry will see Geralt confronting evil once again within the pages of The Witcher: The Lesser Evil. The graphic novel was adapted by Jacek Rembiś, with art by Adam Gorham, colors by Jordie Bellaire, letters by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, and a cover by Kai Carpenter.

Dark Horse‘s description of The Lesser Evil reads:

“In search of a reward, Geralt brings the carcass of a slain creature to a small town where he is told it may be of use to the local sorcerer—but the mage isn’t who he is alleged to be. In hiding for his life, he requests Geralt’s help in slaying the monster who seeks to murder him: a young woman said to have been born under the Curse of the Black Sun, a prophecy of inborn evil. He declares that she is more a monster than the creature presented before him. 

Geralt later encounters the woman, who asserts that it is the sorcerer who is the true monster—committing unspeakable crimes at the behest of his superstitious beliefs. With the boundaries blurred between the evil that is done and the evil done in return, Geralt is met with a quandary. The face of evil is ever-changing and his verdict, whether by choice or by force, can only lead to tragedy.”

Andrzej Sapkowski’s The Witcher: The Lesser Evil will be available in hardcover at your favorite local comic shop on June 21, 2023, and everywhere books are sold on July 4, 2023.
