Grimbeard

Grimbeard: Tales of the Last Dwarf collects the adventures of Blizzard Entertainment art director Samwise Didier’s brawling, elf-hating Captain Grimbeard. 

Captain Grimbeard is right ticked off! Our most noble dwarf (and hero of this story) awoke from a night of merriment to find that he had mysteriously traveled one thousand years into the future. On top of that, he also discovered that the world he once knew was now ruled by the most detestable and dandyish of all creatures—those annoying elfs. Oh, and did I mention that every dwarf in existence was somehow wiped off the crust of the world by those aforementioned scoundrels? 

Well, not every dwarf. 

A collection of bawdy and boisterous short stories featuring all original artwork by legendary Blizzard Entertainment art director Samwise Didier, this tome follows Captain Grimbeard as he organizes underground fight clubs, boxes elven bounty hunters, ducks amorous giants, and most important—searches for a place to empty his beer-filled bladder.
