Mat Cauthon
Few characters from the world of prose fantasy have made the leap to sequential art as naturally as Mat Cauthon, who first stepped onto the comics page in Dynamite Entertainment's Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time: The Eye of the World #1.5 back in 2010, adapted by Chuck Dixon with art by Chase Conley. A Modern Age arrival, Mat has kept remarkable company across his 30 catalogued appearances — sharing adventures with Rand al'Thor, Perrin Aybara, the formidable Moiraine Damodred, and al'Lan Mandragoran through both The Eye of the World and The Great Hunt adaptations. For fans of Robert Jordan's beloved epic, seeing these richly imagined characters rendered in vivid panels is a genuine treat, and Mat's presence across a 14-year publishing span speaks to the enduring appetite for this world in comic form. If you've ever wanted to experience the sprawling drama of the Wheel of Time through the lens of the comics medium, Mat Cauthon's issues are a fine place to start.
