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 whatโs 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 โ or just get to the next level of a trap-filled fantasy dungeon.
With vibrant art done by Laurel Pursuit to bring action-packed battles to life, join as Carl fights his way through the dungeon in heart-speckled underwear.
And of course, the grizzly scenes are only balanced with the incredibly fluffy, wide-eyed stare of its main character, Princess Donut.
A ton of heart and effort was poured into creating a series with a script and style that would both appeal to WEBTOON readers and also lovers of DCC, all while consulting author Matt Dinniman the entire way about character designs, story, - EVERYTHING!
We couldnโt resist taking the apocalyptic awesomeness of the Dungeon Crawler Carl WEBTOON and adapting it into the FIRST EVER graphic novel series!
Welcome, Crawler. Welcome to the Dungeon. Survival is optional. Keeping the viewers entertained is not.
This volume collects episodes 1-13 of the WEBTOON edition.

Praise for Dungeon Crawler Carl (eBook/Print):
โFresh. Creative. Hilarious. I'm obsessedโฆPrincess Donut is my queen.โ โ Actor, producer and New York Times bestselling author Felicia Day
"I don't always say nice things about a book just because the writer has compromising pictures of me engaging in some very complicated international crimes, but when I do, I say them about Matt Dinniman's Dungeon Crawler Carl! Also, this series has no goddamn business burying so much depth and emotion and complexity under its bawdy, gory surface, but it does so anyway. What a wild-ass and unexpected delight." โ New York Times bestselling author Scott Lynch
โ[A] comically cosmic adventure seriesโฆoften laugh-out-loud funnyโฆGrind your way to dungeon mastery alongside Carl and Princess Donut.โ โ The Wall Street Journal
"This is the book for anyone who ever wondered what it would be like to be a role player in a game with the best game master ever. Also for anyone who wants to read a good book. Or maybe anyone who has been outside at nightโin their underwearโlooking for their cat and wondering 'What's the worst thing that could happen?' Once you start, you won't put it down." - Patricia Briggs, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Mercy Thompson series
โOne of the most bananapants, funny, inventive books I have read in a while." - Book Riot
"If there's a better LitRPG than Dungeon Crawler Carl, I haven't read it." - Travis Deverell a.k.a. Shirtaloon, author of He Who Fights With Monsters
โDungeon Crawler Carl is just one big smile all the way through. Put on your best pair of boxer shorts and sit back for a truly fun and enjoyable read.โโNew York Times bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson
โDungeon Crawler Carl is the best start to a series Iโve read this year. I wish Iโd tried it sooner.โ โ Will Wight, author of the Cradle series
โTo describe the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, and the first book in particular, one must blend the darkest, grittiest science fiction with the humour of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It mixes fun, whimsical absurdity, and serious, dark themes with dire consequencesโฆit is so spectacularly good that I cannot recommend it high enough.โ - Grimdark Magazine
โDinnimanโs Douglas-Adams-but-playing-D&D romp was so much fun that I immediately went out and got the next two booksโฆgenuinely joyful.โ โ LitHub.com
