George R.R. Martin celebrates the release of his new graphic novel with his cat ‘Ambi’

One of the most well-known authors in the world today, George R. R. Martin‘s works are widely adored. The most popular television program of the twenty-first century, Game of Thrones, is an adaptation of his book series A Song of Ice and Fire. Voyaging, a new graphic novel project that he recently revealed, was something he had thought about “long before” Westeros from Game of Thrones.
