Stephen King – The Eyes of the Dragon First Edition
An increasingly desirable collectible for serious Stephen King collectors, The Eyes of the Dragon stands apart as one of the most unique books in King’s bibliography. Published by Viking in 1987, this First Edition marked King’s deliberate departure from traditional horror and introduced readers to a richly imagined fantasy world that would later become closely connected to his larger Dark Tower universe.
Of particular interest to collectors is the prominent appearance of Randall Flagg, one of Stephen King’s most enduring and important villains. Flagg’s role in The Eyes of the Dragon helped establish the character’s mythology beyond The Stand and laid the groundwork for his appearances throughout King’s interconnected works.
The true first edition has become increasingly sought after as collectors work to assemble complete runs of King’s original Viking publications. Its significance within the broader King canon, combined with its appeal to fantasy readers and Dark Tower enthusiasts, has made it a cornerstone title in many advanced collections.
Set in the kingdom of Delain, the story follows Prince Peter as he battles betrayal, imprisonment, and the dark schemes of the court magician Flagg. Equal parts fantasy adventure and classic fairy tale, the novel showcases a different side of King’s storytelling while retaining the memorable characters and epic scope that define his best work.
This copy is being offered as a near fine+ book and very good + dust jacket. There is a small check mark on the front-end paper of the book (see pictures).
All Signed Products Have Been Authenticated and Verified with Lifetime Provenance Validation
High-level authentication is an advanced discipline that operates at the intersection of long-term expertise, detailed observation, and controlled verification standards. All items are verified for its origin, composition, production context, and historical alignment. First editions, first printings, and original works require a different level of scrutiny.
Extremely Limited Availability
Once a specific item, edition, or production run exits the market, it cannot be reproduced, reissued, or replaced. Many pieces offered here originate from private collections assembled decades ago and have been permanently removed from normal circulation, placing them beyond conventional availability. When verifiable rarity is combined with expert authentication grounded in over 30 years of specialization, these items represent asymmetric investment opportunities, where limited supply, protected provenance, and sustained collector demand create meaningful long-term appreciation potential.
