The third installment in the #1 New York Times-bestselling Adventure Zone graphic novel series, a hilarious meta-fictional D&D adventure story based on a smash hit podcast.

With two dangerous magical artifacts already recovered, our heroes Taako, Magnus and Merle are feeling confident as they're sent out after their latest target: a notorious thief known as The Raven. She's gotten her hands on another Grand Relic, and she's using it to terrorize the city of Goldcliff with killer vines, poisonous thorns, and one tree monster named Trent.

The assignment takes some white-knuckle wild turns, and the boys soon find themselves entangled in the weeds of underground battle wagon racing, which is both fast and furious if you catch the drift. Allied with a Lieutenant Hurley, who knows an awful lot about illegal racing circuits for a cop, our heroes are gonna have to gear up and burn some fantasy rubber if they want to stop The Raven from destroying the city . . . and herself with it.

The Adventure Zone: Here There Be Gerblins:

"Good comic book, fantastic paper." --Justin Roiland, paper enthusiast and co-creator of Rick and Morty

"The Adventure Zone is fun, hilarious, and also smart. Hey, guys, can I have a cameo next time?" --Adam Savage, MythBusters

"My excitement about this existing cannot be dwarfed by anything. You see what I did there." --Jean Grae, hip-hop artist, actor, and comedian

"The warped fantasy lives of McElroy Sons and Dad are as addictively adorable and unstoppably hilarious as they are on their podcast (a popular mind comic); but somehow Carey Pietsch's gorgeous and playful art makes this deep dive into their beautiful brains even richer, weirder, and more mandatory. This is a critical hit." --John Hodgman, Vacationland

"Gorgeous art--the characters come to life! I am so happy that this graphic novel is a thing that exists in the world." --Hank Green, Crash Course, The Lizzie Bennet Diaries

Meet the McElroys! Clint was born first, which recent studies have shown is the best procedure for fathers and sons; then came Justin, Travis, and, last but not least, Griffin. This hilarious family gained fame in the world of podcasts with My Brother, My Brother and Me (which spawned a popular tv show), Sawbones, Shmanners, Rose Buddies, and a farcical romp called The Adventure Zone.

Carey Pietsch is a cartoonist based out of Brooklyn, New York. Her work includes drawing for Lumberjanes and the Mages of Mystralia webcomic. Carey also makes Keepsakes and other original comics about magic and empathy. Along with brightening her workdays, The Adventure Zone got her to join a D&D campaign. careydraws.tumblr.com
