The Witcher: Blood Stone #3 – Cover A: Pius Bak
Geralt of Rivia’s hunt grows darker with every step. The Witcher: Blood Stone #3 continues the official licensed comic series from Dark Horse Comics set in CD Projekt Red’s acclaimed Witcher universe — delivering the morally complex storytelling, monster-hunting tension, and richly atmospheric world-building that fans of the games and Andrzej Sapkowski’s original novels have come to expect from the best Witcher fiction. Cover A features the exceptional artwork of Pius Bak — whose painterly, detail-rich style brings the grim, fog-drenched world of the Continent to life with a cinematic authority that makes every cover a standalone piece of art worthy of the franchise.
Whether you’ve been following the Blood Stone arc since issue #1, you’re a Pius Bak collector, or you’re a Witcher fan who wants to experience more of the Continent between game releases, issue #3 delivers exactly what makes this series essential reading for any devotee of the White Wolf.

🗡️ Fun Fact: The Witcher franchise began not as a video game but as a series of Polish fantasy short stories by Andrzej Sapkowski, first published in 1986 in the magazine Fantastyka — and went on to become one of the best-selling fantasy series in European literary history before CD Projekt Red’s 2007 game adaptation introduced Geralt to a global audience of millions.
