Dungeon Crawler Carl, Vol. 1 (Graphic Novel) by Matt Dinniman

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.

Featuring vibrant art by Laurel Pursuit, this action-packed graphic novel brings Carl’s battles through the dungeon to life, heart-speckled underwear and all. The grizzly scenes are balanced by the incredibly fluffy, wide-eyed stare of Princess Donut.

This volume adapts the apocalyptic awesomeness of the Dungeon Crawler Carl WEBTOON and collects episodes 1–13 of the WEBTOON edition.

Welcome, Crawler. Welcome to the Dungeon. Survival is optional. Keeping the viewers entertained is not.
