Discworld Graphic Novel Universe - images of three pages from Thief of Time

[Book Release News]

The Discworld is getting a makeover in the form of a Graphic Novel Universe!

I know, I know… we already have some of the stories in graphic novel form. The Colour of Magic, The Light Fantastic, Mort, Guards! Guards and Small Gods have all had this treatment in the past.

But wouldn't it be epic to get the rest of the Discworld universe in that form?

Publishers Transworld and Puffin books think so!

The first three books to get the Graphic Novel treatment will be:

Thief of Time, with artwork by prize-winning illustrator Rachael Stott and adapted by LEGO comics author Gary Chudleigh will be due for release in April 2026 (Publisher Transworld - worldwide)

Monstrous Regiment will be published in the following Autumn.

And the last of the three initial graphic novels will be The Wee Free Men, adapted by Rhianna Pratchett - with a release date of Spring 2027; Published by Puffin books.

The blurb for Thief of Time

Thief of Time is adapted from Terry Pratchett's critically acclaimed book, featuring artwork from prize-winning comic book illustrator Rachael Stott. The very fabric of reality is at risk on the Discworld. A group of powerful cosmic beings are plotting to stop time and exact order over the dreadfully messy universe.

It is up to Susan, the assertive, no-nonsense granddaughter of Death himself, aided by a time-splicing monk and his mysterious apprentice, to navigate a world of chaos and clockmakers in an extraordinary bid to save the universe.

Together they will face an adventure that bends time and challenges the very nature of existence.

This new graphic novel is a feast for the eyes, packed with Pratchett's signature wit, insight and imagination, taking the reader on an unforgettable journey into the heart of time itself.
