As a long-time fan of The Witcher series, I cannot contain my excitement about the upcoming release of The Witcher: Classic Collection by Dark Horse. For years, English-speaking fans like myself have yearned to explore Geralt’s origins in his first-ever comic book series, which were originally published in Poland during the 90s.

The Witcher saga has expanded into various forms of media over the years, including books, video games, television shows on Netflix, and comics. Dark Horse Comics has played a significant role in bringing Andrzej Sapkowski’s tales to life as graphic novels, making it fitting that they lead us once more through Geralt of Rivia’s adventures from the 90s into this modern era.

For those not fluent in Polish and eager to explore The Witcher’s roots, English-speaking fans of fantasy will soon have the opportunity to read the initial Witcher comic series in The Witcher: Classic Collection – a first for non-Polish audiences.

A New Era For Geralt Of Rivia

The first edition of The Witcher comics, initially released in Poland from 1993 to 1995, is set to be translated into English for fans’ enjoyment. This collection comprises six comics with a total of 296 pages and available in paperback format. Featuring tales such as “The Lesser Evil,” “The Betrayal,” and “The Last Wish,” this release will offer readers an exclusive look into Geralt’s background, revealing insights about his mother and the Cat School of Witchers.

This compilation includes Geralt’s early 90s comic stories based on Sapkowski’s initial short tales. One of these stories, “The Betrayal,” stems from an unrealized concept by Sapkowski.

Some devoted Witcher followers, accustomed to Geralt of Rivia’s distinctive long hair and handsome features, might be startled by the unconventional hairstyle on the initial cover. However, we can attribute this quirky appearance to the 90s trend, where everyone seemed to sport some unusual styles.

If you’re excited about obtaining the collection, you can prepurchase The Witcher: Classic Edition, scheduled for release on March 18, 2025, via Amazon for $30. The wait is not over yet, but it’s a great investment for any devoted fan.
