About the author
Chuck Dixon
3,426 books1,029 followersCharles "Chuck" Dixon is an American comic book writer, perhaps best-known for long runs on Batman titles in the 1990s.
His earliest comics work was writing Evangeline first for Comico Comics in 1984 (then later for First Comics, who published the on-going series), on which he worked with his then-wife, the artist Judith Hunt. His big break came one year later, when editor Larry Hama hired him to write back-up stories for Marvel Comics' The Savage Sword of Conan.
In 1986, he began working for Eclipse Comics, writing Airboy with artist Tim Truman. Continuing to write for both Marvel and (mainly) Eclipse on these titles, as well as launching Strike! with artist Tom Lyle in August 1987 and Valkyrie with artist Paul Gulacy in October 1987, he began work on Carl Potts' Alien Legion series for Marvel's Epic Comics imprint, under editor Archie Goodwin. He also produced a three-issue adaptation of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit for Eclipse with artist David Wenzel between 1989 and 1990, and began writing Marc Spector: Moon Knight in June 1989.
His Punisher OGN Kingdom Gone (August, 1990) led to him working on the monthly The Punisher War Journal (and later, more monthly and occasional Punisher titles), and also brought him to the attention of DC Comics editor Denny O'Neil, who asked him to produce a Robin mini-series. The mini proved popular enough to spawn two sequels - The Joker's Wild (1991) and Cry of the Huntress (1992) - which led to both an ongoing monthly series (which Dixon wrote for 100 issues before leaving to work with CrossGen Comics), and to Dixon working on Detective Comics from #644-738 through the major Batman stories KnightFall & KnightsEnd (for which he helped create the key character of Bane), DC One Million , Contagion , Legacy , Cataclysm and No Man's Land . Much of his run was illustrated by Graham Nolan.
He was DC's most prolific Batman-writer in the mid-1990s (rivalled perhaps in history by Bill Finger and Dennis O'Neil) - in addition to writing Detective Comics he pioneered the individual series for Robin , Nightwing (which he wrote for 70 issues, and returned to briefly with 2005's #101) and Batgirl , as well as creating the team and book Birds of Prey .
While writing multiple Punisher and Batman comics (and October 1994's Punisher/Batman crossover), he also found time to launch Team 7 for Jim Lee's WildStorm/Image and Prophet for Rob Liefeld's Extreme Studios. He also wrote many issues of Catwoman and Green Arrow , regularly having about seven titles out each and every month between the years 1993 and 1998.
In March, 2002, Dixon turned his attention to CrossGen's output, salthough he co-wrote with Scott Beatty the origin of Barbara Gordon's Batgirl in 2003's Batgirl: Year One. For CrossGen he took over some of the comics of the out-going Mark Waid, taking over Sigil from #21, and Crux with #13. He launched Way of the Rat in June 2002, Brath (March '03), The Silken Ghost (June '03) and the pirate comic El Cazador (Oct '03), as well as editing Robert Rodi's non-Sigilverse The Crossovers. He also wrote the Ruse spin-off Archard's Agents one-shots in January and November '03 and April '04, the last released shortly before CrossGen's complete collapse forced the cancellation of all of its comics, before which Dixon wrote a single issue of Sojourn (May '04). Dixon's Way of the Rat #24, Brath #14 and El Cazador #6 were among the last comics released from the then-bankrupt publisher.
On June 10, 2008, Dixon announced on his forum that he was no longer "employed by DC Comics in any capacity."

This is the season of Wheel of Time what with the wonderful TV series on Amazon Prime I thought to revisit the story and what better way to do so than graphic novels to quickly recap the story. I have read the first 6 books in the Wheel of Time so far and then stopped so have to make a decision whether to continue the series or start again but it's already too long so I might just continue but coming back to the first issue, the artwork is nice and here we go, till then Keep on Reading.
I have always loved comics, and I hope that I will always love them. Even though I grew up reading local Indian comics like Raj Comics or Diamond Comics or even Manoj Comics, now's the time to catch up on the international and classic comics and Graphic novels. I am on my quest to read as many comics as I can. I Love comics to the bits, may the comics never leave my side. I loved reading this and love reading more, you should also read what you love and then just Keep on Reading.

Just as you'd imagine
I have to say that the graphic novel is pretty close to how I pictured the series when I read it in paperback. Although they could have put more of the story into this one. I guess they have to make money.

Beautiful art. Wonderful story. I have read the novels several times and grew up waiting for the next novel to be released. Love to see the story brought to life in such a colorful and artistic way.

Interested Though Lost
First, I am not familiar with Robert Jordan's series. I have Conan stories that I need to read by him and I have enjoyed Chuck Dixon's first Wade book as well as his Superman/Tarzan comic. The art is good and the environment of this story is intriguing but the names take some getting used to. Being the beginning, I'm lost as to what some things are, like the Bel Tine, who characters are, and what's going on with the Lord of Dark and the Light. I'm interested though, except maybe in the "women's wisdom council", so I will try another issue. I anticipate a camaraderie of adventure with Moiraine, Egwene and the boys, Ewin Fingar, Matrim Cauthon, and Rand Al'Thor.

I purchased a Humble Bundle with loads of WoT comics, so I'm excited to try this story in comic format. I read Eye of the World ages and ages ago, so it will be nice to get reacquainted now that the latest season of the show has concluded.

I mean intro to the series I loved it, it was nice to have read the prequel first because familiarity with the world and moiraine kind of got me through the beginning hump. But overall the characters were INCREDIBLE, I love Perrin and cannot wait to see how he discovers his new powers.

I have read the novel that is the source material for this graphic novel. They did a great job on it, but I may have been able to fill in any story deficiency without realizing it. I really enjoyed the graphic novel.

I love the wheel of time series. The books I have read twice, and these comics are great. I like seeing what other people have imagined the characters to look like

Graphic Novel
Covers the first few chapters of book one of the Wheel of Time book series. Great illustrations . A good start to the story.

To me, one of the greatest openings to a fantasy series ever written. One of my favorite ever books, and one I’ve read-read close to 10 times at this point.

Avendo finito da poco la rilettura della Saga, mi fa piacere poter fare ancora un ultimo tuffo a Randland.
