Críticas:

Just a quick side jaunt in the journey, but it's a diversion that adds further depth to a particularly well-wrought tale.--Kirkus Reviews The King's Dragon is well-written and well-illustrated, and it does an excellent job of adding depth to an already enthralling story. This book will leave readers waiting eagerly for the next instalment.--CM Magazine Chantler;s cartooning remains sharp, lively and inviting, and his eye for rousing action sequences is top notch. But it's his skill as a writer that shines through, as he creates a riveting character study of a complicated, difficult, noble and conflicted man, the likes of which one seldom sees in genre graphic novels for this age group.--Booklist

Reseña del editor:

In this fourth instalment of the Three Thieves fantasy adventure series of graphic novels, Captain Drake's quest to find Dessa, Topper and Fisk has led him to a remote healing monastery where he believes they have gone to tend Dessa's broken leg. While pursuing his quarry, Captain Drake finds himself beset by memories of his early days as a young and idealistic knight in King Roderick's service. Featured as flashbacks, these memories provide readers with important clues to the unfolding story, such as that the King's Dragons were more loyal to the palace chamberlain, Maarten Greyfalcon, than to the king; that there was a mysterious letter written by the king, meant to be read only at his death, which had disappeared; and that Drake had uncovered a plot to murder the king. The tale moves forward in both the present and the past, with the flashbacks drawn in black-and-white to differentiate the time.
