The LitRPG fantasy smash hit phenomenon and New York Times bestseller, DUNGEON CRAWLER CARL , is now a graphic novel for the very first time! The Apocalypse WILL be televised! You know what’s worse than breaking up with your girlfriend? Getting stuck on a sadistic alien game show with her cat. Join Carl and Princess Donut as they try to survive the end of the world — or just get to the next level of a trap-filled fantasy dungeon. With vibrant art done by Laurel Pursuit to bring action-packed battles to life, join as Carl fights his way through the dungeon in heart-speckled underwear. And of course, the grizzly scenes are only balanced with the incredibly fluffy, wide-eyed stare of its main character, Princess Donut. A ton of heart and effort was poured in creating a series with a script and style that would both appeal to WEBTOON readers and also lovers of DCC, all while consulting author Matt Dinniman the entire way about character designs, story, - EVERYTHING! We couldn’t resist taking the apocalyptic awesomeness of the DUNGEON CRAWLER CARL WEBTOON and adapting it into the FIRST EVER graphic novel series! Welcome, Crawler. Welcome to the Dungeon. Survival is optional. Keeping the viewers entertained is not. This volume collects episodes 1-13 of the WEBTOON edition. NEW YORK TIMES Top 2 Bestseller! USA TODAY Top 5 Overall Bestseller!

Praise for DUNGEON CRAWLER CARL, Vol. 1 (WEBTOON Graphic Novel) : "...incredibly entertaining" -- Screenrant "...one of the most unique new stories on Webtoon" -- Screenrant Dungeon Crawler Carl ranked #1 best new series on WEBTOON by Screenrant Praise for DUNGEON CRAWLER CARL (eBook/Print): “Fresh. Creative. Hilarious. I'm obsessed…Princess Donut is my queen.” – Actor, producer and New York Times bestselling author Felicia Day "I don't always say nice things about a book just because the writer has compromising pictures of me engaging in some very complicated international crimes, but when I do, I say them about Matt Dinniman's Dungeon Crawler Carl! Also, this series has no goddamn business burying so much depth and emotion and complexity under its bawdy, gory surface, but it does so anyway. What a wild-ass and unexpected delight." – New York Times bestselling author Scott Lynch “[A] comically cosmic adventure series…often laugh-out-loud funny…Grind your way to dungeon mastery alongside Carl and Princess Donut.” – The Wall Street Journal "This is the book for anyone who ever wondered what it would be like to be a role player in a game with the best game master ever. Also for anyone who wants to read a good book. Or maybe anyone who has been outside at night—in their underwear—looking for their cat and wondering 'What's the worst thing that could happen?' Once you start, you won't put it down." - Patricia Briggs, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Mercy Thompson series “One of the most bananapants, funny, inventive books I have read in a while." - Book Riot "If there's a better LitRPG than Dungeon Crawler Carl, I haven't read it." - Travis Deverell a.k.a. Shirtaloon, author of He Who Fights With Monsters “Dungeon Crawler Carl is just one big smile all the way through. Put on your best pair of boxer shorts and sit back for a truly fun and enjoyable read.”— New York Times bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson “ Dungeon Crawler Carl is the best start to a series I’ve read this year. I wish I’d tried it sooner.” – Will Wight, author of the Cradle series “To describe the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, and the first book in particular, one must blend the darkest, grittiest science fiction with the humour of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It mixes fun, whimsical absurdity, and serious, dark themes with dire consequences…it is so spectacularly good that I cannot recommend it high enough.” - Grimdark Magazine “Dinniman’s Douglas-Adams-but-playing-D&D romp was so much fun that I immediately went out and got the next two books…genuinely joyful.” – LitHub.com Review: Lovely adaptation - Fun take on the character visuals. Vibrant art and cleverly abridged to faithfully convey the original story. Can’t wait for the next one! Review: A fun new look at DCC - I know this isn’t everyone’s idea of what Carl should look like, but I really enjoyed the art especially for the monsters and action scenes. Lots of fun. Can’t wait to see what Carl looks like as he levels up.

Beautiful quality. Must have!
The artwork is stunning! Every single page is a visual treat that perfectly captures the mood and pulls you right into the world. The quality is so nice, as well. Full color, glossy pages. It's beautiful! Super happy with the purchase! Can't wait for the next one!

Printing Issue Maybe?
I love this comic and the art is amazing but the only gripe I have is that sometimes the AI/achievement pop ups are kind of blurry. I've attached a photo of one being fine and the next one less than an inch away is very blurry as if it was printed a bit offset. I've noticed it a few times and I'm barely half way through, it's nothing that affects me too much but I know if someone has a slight sight disability it might make it harder to read these achievement notifications. It's just a tinyyyy bit blurry.

New Achievement! Graphic Novel!
Hits all the right points, the story flows great, the creatures are very close to what I imagined in my head. As soon as I received it I read through it. Bummer it's only the first 13 chapters but excited the next one releases this year

Perfect.
I've read the books and thought I would check out this graphic novel. Very much enjoyed it, beautiful artwork and both Carl and Donut are brought to life very well. The storyline is of course not as detailed as the book, but again, works very well.

Fun read!
NEW ACHIEVEMENT- Comic Book Guy! You're experiencing Dungeon Crawler Carl in a format historically beloved by socially inept dweebs! Go on, tell yourself it's become much more mainstream and acceptable if that makes you feel less judged reading this on the bus ride to your job at Gamestop. REWARD: People will now be %2 more likely to believe that your "Girlfriend who lives in Canada" actually exists! Jokes aside, this is a pretty good adaptation of an absurdly good series, except that in adapting it from the webtoon format some of the panels (specifically the ones with system message windows) have been shrank down to fit on manga-sized pages little too much to read comfortably with old people eyes. The art is solid, and the team did well on moving the vertical style webcomic panels to a printed horizontal layout for the most part. Character design is a departure from the book cover art familiar to fans, but feels fresh and dynamic in a way that suits this manga/manhwa/comic format to a tee. People already familiar with the series will enjoy little background details thrown in by the art team that hint at things and characters who become pretty important later without spoiling anything. Looking foward to volume 2!

Great story, fantastic art, wish it was bigger
This is a great way to experience DCC. You don't need to have read the actual books, this graphic novel does a good job telling the story. The art is beautiful, especially if you like the anime/manga style. I only wish the book was physically bigger. It can be difficult to read small text, particularly when it is close to the spine. This is my only gripe. If you're looking to get into the DCC series this is an awesome entry point. I've already pre-ordered volume 2.
