GRAWLGORE & SHANKS Book One

Vaun Grawlgore is a travelling dwarf tailor of middling renown and questionable talent. Arlog Shanks is his steadfast orc steward and bodyguard. Together, they travel the fantasy realm of Plaena in search of custom, finding mysteries that need solving and people that need helping along the way. This volume contains two of their adventures...

AN ERRANT SOUL

The people of Trowfold are caught under the shadow of fear. Villagers have been turning up dead, their bodies brutally mangled, their innards devoured. They believe an ancient monster has emerged from the great Trow Forest that surrounds their village, in search of prey. Into this fraught environment arrive Vaun Grawlgore and Arlog Shanks in their wagon of finery. Grawlgore knows a great deal about silks and cloth and threads. But he may also know a thing or two about hunting monsters…

THE FRAGRANT CURS

While passing through the sleepy farmstead of Greengorm, Grawlgore and Shanks are accosted by a desperate elderly couple, who plead for aid. They say their grandson, Jot, has been kidnapped by the Fragrant Curs, a notorious group of roving bandits who have been terrorising the people of Greengorm. This sets our heroes on a collision course with Tommo the Giant, the much-feared bandit leader. But all is not what it seems…

In addition to this double-bill of stories, this deluxe edition also contains bonus content, including prose stories and pinup art.

GRAWLGORE & SHANKS is a blend of high fantasy and procedural mystery from ComixTribe, by John Lees, Joe Mulvey, Kurt Michael Russell, JP Jordan and Shawn Lee.
