Rise of the Dungeon Master - Gary Gygax and the Creation of D&D

By award-winning journalist and author David Kushner and American Israeli cartoonist and illustrator Koren Shadmi, Rise of the Dungeon Master tells, in graphic form, the story of Gary Gygax, co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons, one of the most influential games ever made. Like the game itself, the narrative casts the reader into the adventure from a first person point of view, taking on the roles of the different characters in the story. Gygax, an imaginative misfit, escaped into a virtual world based on science fiction novels, military history, and strategic games like chess. In the mid-1970s, he co-created the wildly popular Dungeons & Dragons game, determining the rules and inventing the signature 20-sided dice. With D&D, Gygax created the kind of roleplaying fantasy that would fuel the multi-billion dollar video game industry, and become a foundation of contemporary geek culture.
