Dabel Brothers productions : Graphic Novels
In just a few short years, Dabel Brothers Productions ("DB Pro") has grown from a small company founded by four creative brothers into a well-known comic book studio that has brought some of the most popular fantasy novels into the visual medium through well-produced comic books and graphic novels.
Initially launched as Roaring Studios in 2002 by Ernst, Les, Pascal, and David Dabel, the company began as a developer studio publishing through Image Comics with a small lineup of original titles.
But the Dabel Brothers had a bigger vision for their company - they wanted to produce a comic book adaptation of New York Times Bestselling author George R. R. Martin's epic fantasy series, "A Song of Ice and Fire." Though Mr. Martin was intrigued by the prospect and impressed by the brothers' passion for his books, he suggested that they first adapt a recently written novella that served as a prequel to his novel series. The brothers began work on assembling their creative team, and production began on their first major title, The Hedge Knight (2003). It was a massive success both in terms of sales and critical response, even earning the top spot in the graphic novel section of Amazon.com for 2004.
Thrilled with their success, the Dabel Brothers began speaking to several other major fantasy and science fiction authors about licensing other popular works. They began immediate work on Richard A. Knaak's Dragonlance: The Legend of Huma (2004) and followed up with Raymond E. Feist's The Wood Boy (2005), Robert Silverberg's The Seventh Shrine (2005), Tad Williams's The Burning Man (2005), and Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time: New Spring (2005).
(Adding to this impressive pedigree, many of these titles featured covers from legendary sci-fi and fantasy artists such as Michael Kaluta, Boris Valejo, Tom Mandrake, Julie Bell, Ted Nasmith and the Hildebrant Bros.)
The brothers also complemented their fantasy lineup with a strong selection of studio titles, including the original Legacy (2003) and Imperial Dragons (2004), as well as the English adaptation of the classic European conspiracy story, XIII (2005).
And for 2006, DB PRO has even more plans, including adaptations of Orson Scott Card's Red Prophet and Wyrms, Monte Cook's Ptolus: City by the Spire, Raymond E. Feist's Magician, George R. R. Martin's The Hedge Knight II: Sworn Sword, R.A. Salvatore's The Highwayman, and Robert Silverberg's Lord Valentine's Castle. The Dabel Brothers will also be producing the original stories Age of Darkness (a fantasy war epic), Marshal (a sci-fi western) and Minus World (an adventure centered around video games) as well as many others.
What sets DB Pro apart? A key strength is something very few companies can attest to - it is, afer all, a family. And within that family, the four Dabel Brothers themselves (as well as their dedicated staff) share a philosophy of paying attention to quality, listening to the ideas and concerns of their authors, and knowing what fans are after. After all, fans are why the Dabel Brothers are in this business - and as anyone who posts in the DB Pro forums knows, Les, Ernst, David and Pascal are very interested to hear from readers to learn how they can make their line of books even stronger.
So, welcome to the world of DB Pro, and please feel free to let us know what you think of what we're doing -- we've always got time to listen to our fans.

THE RED PROPHET:
Written by Orson Scot Card
Adapted by Roland Bernard Brown
Art by Renato Arlem
FULL WRAP Cover B by John Buxom
Things are not always what they seem in an alternate American history where folk magic actually works, and there is certainly more than meets the eye to Lolla-Wossiky, a perpetually drunk Shaw-Nee who cannot seem to shake his addiction to whiskey. But as Lolla-Wossiky ventures north in search of his dream beast, he also is on a quest to cure the ceaseless presence of the “black noise” - a shroud of darkness inside his head created by the violent death of his father that he can only push back when he is drinking. But along the voyage, an experience in Wobbish territory will change Lolla-Wossiky’s life forever, and change him from a drunken Red Man into the wise and powerful Red Prophet…

MAGICIAN: Apprentice
COVER B, PAINTED FULL WRAP COVER!!!
Synopsis:
Pug and Tomas are two kitchen boys with big dreams of becoming heroes in the fantasy world of Midkemia –at least until Pug finds himself trapped in a terrible storm and being chased by a savagely angry boar. It is at this point that he is rescued by a servant of the magician Kulgan and introduced to the ways of magic – a path he had never considered for himself.
But elsewhere in Midkemia, an elven tracking party discovers that a strange army is scouting the remote areas of their world – and vanishing without a trace once they are finished!
Special Notes:
This is the beginning of New York Times Bestselling author Raymond E. Feist’s epic RIFTWAR SAGA, a series of novels so beloved by fantasy fans that they are often considered to be in the same league as J.R.R. Tolkien’s THE LORD OF THE RINGS. With a brilliant adaptation by Michael Avon Oeming (RED SONJA, POWERS) and Bryan J.L. Glass (NEGATIVE BURN) and stunning art by fan favorite Brett Booth (THUNDERCATS: DOGS OF WAR, THE BURNING MAN), MAGICIAN: APPRENTICE may well be the comic book fantasy event of the year!
