Robinson Edgar awakes one morning to find himself a strange fantasy
world with no clear memory of how he got there, or even who he is.
Set upon by an ogreish press gang, he soon finds himself fighting
for his life and caught between two warring factions who want to
take over the world. And while they're at it, they'd like nothing
better than to kill Rob and his new-found friends, Brenna, Finella,
and Bill, the wise-cracking griffon. Can Rob elude the bad guys
long enough to discover his true identity, remember his quest, and
return to his own world? Or will he fall victim to the evil Lord
Ugo Redhand, the faerie War Master, Kalil, or Shandara, the Witch
Queen? The Twilight Empire is a rollicking graphic novel filled
with action, adventure, and a delightful cast of characters. It was
enjoyed by thousands of fantasy and gaming enthusiasts worldwide,
every month, when it appeared in Dragon (the official Dungeons
& Dragons magazine) in the early 1990s. Now, for the first time
ever, The Twilight Empire: Robinson's War is available complete and
uncut, in a handsome and affordable black-and-white facsimile
edition. The book also includes a behind-the-scenes insights from
the author, Stephen D. Sullivan (Dragonlance), the artist, John
Hebert (X-Men Adventures), and a special Introduction by Bill
Willingham, the award-winning writer of the comic book Fables.
Sought after by fans for nearly two decades, this Twilight Empire
graphic novel is an event not to be missed BLURBS FOR THE TWILIGHT
EMPIRE Handsome heroes and white-hot warriorettes; brutish baddies
and menacing monsters; colorful combat and romantic romps;
multi-dimensional mischief and shape-shifting shenanigans ... plus
a formidable yet uber-lovable GWA (griffon with attitude) named
Bill The characters are archetypal and the themes tried-and-true,
but Sullivan and company toss in enough quirky twists to create
something at once timeless and brand new. Fifty deftly wrought,
three-page gems that, together, tell a tale to be treasured. -Paul
McComas, author Unforgettable and Planet of the Dates The
re-release of Twilight Empire brings back my old friends ... and a
wicked, wild smile to my face. This was the first part of Dragon
magazine that I turned to "back in the day," and finding the strips
again was like reuniting with long-lost but never forgotten pals.
It was the best part of the magazine ... the fun and adventure, the
escape that I craved and treasured. Thanks, Stephen and John, for
tugging them out into the literary fray again. -Jean Rabe, USA
Today bestselling fantasy author I hate to make Steve and John feel
old, but I was fifteen when The Twilight Empire comic first
appeared in Dragon Magazine #156, opening with the phrase "Surely
this is madness" over darkness. Before the first page spread was
complete, our amnesiac hero was being dangled over a cliff by a
brute while while nasty little minions tossed his possessions to
the wind. I eagerly flipped through each new issue to enjoy Rob's
adventures as he learned about the strange world he found himself
in and, eventually, his own identity. Action, mystery, magic,
friendship and family are explored in this tale and I'm very happy
to see it brought back so new readers can uncover the secrets of
Robinson's War -Jamie Chambers, award-winning game designer and
President of Fire Signal Studios Long after I'd given up on every
other part of Dragon Magazine, I still bought it every month to get
the Twilight Empire pages in the back -- it was just that good.
It's nice to finally see it collected in full, far too many years
after it should have been. Better late than never -Bill Willingham,
New York Times Bestselling writer of Fables
