The upcoming graphic novel adaptation of The Witcher: The Last Wish, one of Andrzej Sapkowski’s original short stories, is poised to be a noteworthy entry in the collectible market when it releases in August 2026.
The Witcher: The Last Wish, is the sixth installment among Sapkowski’s seven original short stories. This adaptation features the pivotal introduction of Yennefer, a powerful sorceress, alongside Geralt. The graphic novel is being developed under the expertise of CD Projekt Red Studio’s editor and writer Marcin Zwierzchowski, with English adaptation handled by Stefan Kiełbasiewicz. The visual elements are crafted by Zenescope artist Guillermo Fajardo, with colors by Neeraj Menon and lettering by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou. Spanning 72 pages, this graphic novel will be available in both paperback and hardcover formats from Dark Horse Comics on August 11, 2026, and will showcase cover art by series artist Kai Carpenter. It follows a series of previous adaptations, including A Grain of Truth, The Lesser Evil, A Question of Price, and The Edge of the World, with more to come.
In this captivating narrative, Dandelion’s reckless curiosity leads him to break a magical seal, unleashing a djinn that threatens not just his life but Geralt’s as well. With the djinn on the loose, Geralt must secure Yennefer’s assistance in a town wary of magic’s repercussions. As the dynamics unfold, trust in Yennefer’s capabilities is tested, raising questions about the nature of magic, power, and desire.
The significance of this story can’t be overstated, as it marks the introduction of Yennefer, a figure of paramount importance in Geralt’s life. The character’s fierce duality—blending beauty and danger—has been masterfully rendered in the artwork, with initial designs capturing this essence and promising to enrich the story overall.
