Fans of the Song of Ice and Fire comics from Dynamite Entertainment should start getting excited — artist Magali Villeneuve tweeted an image of her artwork for the cover of A Clash of Kings #1, which will be available June 7. Take a look at her rendering of Stannis and Shireen:

Villeneuve did the artwork for the 2016 A Song of Ice and Fire calendar, which is similarly rich in detail. That calendar featured an illustration for “Mercy,” an Arya Stark chapter from The Winds of Winter, the as-yet unpublished sixth volume in the ASOIAF series. As for the Clash of Kings comic, it’s being adapted by writer Landry Quinn Walker with art by Mel Rubi.
According to Westeros.org, there will be variant covers of the first issue. Here’s Mike S. Miller’s variant cover featuring Melisandre, Stannis, Shireen and the fool Patchface, the latter of whom was cut from the show.
Here here we have The World of Ice and Fire artist Marc Simonetti’s variant cover, featuring Melisandre looking at the red comet from the walls of Dragonstone:
And finally, here’s Rubi’s variant cover featuring Melisandre, Stannis, and a third character who is possibly Maester Cressen (notice the chain around his neck).
These comics are perfect if you want to quickly breeze your way through each book, and if history is any guide, the illustrations will be fantastic. If you’re interested, you can purchase the A Game of Thrones comics (24 in all) from Dynamite Entertainment. The individual comics have been compiled into four graphic novels going for $25 a piece. Or you can still buy each comic separately for $3.99.
