*************************************************************
Imagine a flat world, sitting on the backs of four elephants, who hurtle through space balanced on a giant turtle. This is the Discworld - a place (and a time) parallel to our own - but also very different.

The Discworld Graphic Novels presents the very first two volumes of this much-loved series ( The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic ) in graphic novel form. Introduced here are the bizarre misadventures of Twoflower , the Discworld's first ever tourist, and possibly - portentously - its last, and his guide Rincewind , the spectacularly inept wizard. Not to mention the Luggage , which has a mind of its own...

A gift like no other, this stunning package expertly conjures up the sights, sounds, people and places of Sir Terry Pratchett's incredible Discworld in ways fans have previously only been able to imagine.
