A Game of Thrones

A Game of Thrones is the comic book adaptation of George R. R. Martin's fantasy novel A Game of Thrones, the first in the A Song of Ice and Fire series. A sequel, A Clash of Kings, was announced in March 2017, based on the book of the same name. Production The comic book series was scripted by fantasy author Daniel Abraham and drawn by Tommy Patterson. It is intended to follow the story and atmosphere of the novel closely, at a rate of about a page of art for each page of text, and was projected to cover 24 issues of 29 pages each. George R.R. Martin advised Daniel Abraham on aspects of the adaptation. In an Ignite presentation of the series' development process, Abraham said that the major challenges in creating the adaptation were: how to convey the novel's substantial amount of exposition and dialogue in a manner appropriate to the medium, how to represent the novel's sex scenes involving 13-year-old Daenerys Targaryen in such a manner as not to risk being accused of child pornography under the U.S. PROTECT Act, producing the series in parallel to HBO's TV series, which visualizes the novel and its characters in a different manner not knowing what might become significant in the as-yet unwritten sixth and seventh novels in the Song of Ice and Fire series. For the second novel in the series, Landry Walker took over as writer while drawings were done by Mel Rubi.
