Experience Dungeon Crawler Carl on Audible
An even more budget-friendly method to dive into the entire series is through an Audible membership. First-time subscribers get a 30-day free trial followed by an $8.99 monthly Standard plan, which includes a monthly credit and streaming access to the Audible library. For those who prefer to build a permanent collection, the Premium plan costs $14.95 monthly and lets you keep one audiobook per month forever.
The Dungeon Crawler Carl audiobooks are legendary thanks to phenomenal performances by voice artist Jeff Hays, who masterfully brings Carl—and every other character—to life. Fun fact: the Audible versions feature the original cover art designed by Luciano Fleitas back when Dinniman originally self-published the series.
Dungeon Crawler Carl: The Graphic Novel Series
Following its July 2025 Webtoon launch, Dungeon Crawler Carl is officially making its way to graphic novel format. Volume One is currently discounted to $12.73 on Amazon—a 36% price drop from its standard $19.99 retail price. While Volume Two and Volume Three have not yet been released, pre-orders are live for $19.99 each.
Dedicated readers will spot a design change: Princess Donut appears as a solid white cat rather than her canonical tortoiseshell coat. Matt Dinniman sanctioned this adjustment to streamline the drawing process for artists. Although long-time fans might be skeptical initially, the artistic team at Laurel Pursuit handles the adaptation so brilliantly that it quickly feels completely natural.
Dungeon Crawler Carl: Collector’s Deluxe Edition
Devoted fans who already own every volume might think their collection is complete, but there’s still more to add. Dungeon Crawler Carl: Deluxe Edition is built specifically for collectors. Featuring exclusive artwork by Victo Ngal, custom stenciled page edges bearing Carl’s famous slogan, and a vibrant four-color bookmark showing Carl and Donut on the flee, this is an essential display piece.
Available now for pre-order, this special release officially arrives on November 17. While standard retail is set at $65, pre-ordering through Amazon grants a 30% discount, lowering the total price to $45.50.
