Synopsis "The eye of the World: The Graphic Novel, Volume one (Wheel of Time: The Graphic Novel, 1) "

Now an original series starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine! Created with the cooperation of the Jordan estate, adapted by well-known comics writer Chuck Dixon and illustrated by the talented Chase Conley, The Eye of the World: The Graphic Novel has been hailed as an exciting interpretation of Robert Jordan's classic fantasy novel. The Eye of the World: The Graphic Novel, Volume One begins Robert Jordan's epic tale by introducing Rand al'Thor and his friends Matrim and Perrin at home in Emond's Field, shortly before the spring festival. Moiraine Damodred and Lan Mandragoran appear and almost before Rand knows it, he's fleeing his home village with Moiraine, Lan, his friends, and Egwene al'Vere, the innkeeper's daughter, who wishes to become an Aes Sedai. The conclusion of this volume leaves the travelers on the road to Baerlon, barely ahead of the pursuing Trollocs and Draghkar. But even as they run for their lives, Moiraine and Lan begin to teach the young people what they will need to know to survive in this dangerous world. The Eye of the World: The Graphic Novel, Volume One contains the first eight issues of The Wheel of Time comic book published by Dynamite Entertainment.

Robert Jordan, pseudonym of James Oliver Rigney Jr., was a prominent American writer born in Charleston, South Carolina, on October 17, 1948. He is mainly recognized for his epic fantasy series "The Wheel of Time", which began with "The Eye of the World" in 1990. Before turning to writing, Jordan graduated in physics from The Citadel, a military college in South Carolina, and served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War.

In addition to "The Wheel of Time", Jordan wrote several novels about "Conan the Barbarian" in the 1980s, contributing to the heroic fantasy genre. After his death in 2007, author Brandon Sanderson completed the last volumes of "The Wheel of Time" based on notes left by Jordan. The series has been translated into multiple languages and has established Jordan as one of the most influential authors in contemporary fantasy literature.
