Dark Horse Comics continues their close collaboration with CD PROJEKT RED in 2025, bringing The Witcher comics to fans based on the hit video game series. The next installment of these iconic Witcher tales will be The Witcher: The Bear and the Butterfly.
Written by Simon Spurrier (Coda, The Spire, 2000 AD), with main cover and interior art by Stephen Green (Hellboy and the B.P.R.D: 1957—Forgotten Lives, Sea of Stars), colors by José Villarrubia (The Witcher: A Grain of Truth, DEN), and letters from Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou (The Witcher: Corvo Bianco, Kill All Immortals). The first issue also features a set of variant covers with art by Mattia De Iulis (The Cull), Aaron Campbell (John Constantine: Hellblazer–Dead in America), and iconic pencil artist Tim Von Rueden.
Geralt travels to a remote town where a vampire is rumored to be killing the townspeople. The bounty has amassed all manner of monster hunters—and among them is another witcher, from the school of the Bear, a fierce competitor for the reward.
