Our view

“The Mystery Knight” sends Dunk and Egg to a tourney that hides a plot, and readers stay fond of the pair. Some call it the best or most ambitious of George R. R. Martin’s three tales, with intrigue and rebellion behind the jousting, while wishing Egg had more to do. This is the full-colour graphic novel edition, 160 pages long, and it builds on the two stories before it.
