Holy crap!  Graham is packing a nice bulge there!  Kudos, Graham!  Now I understand why Valanice keeps coming back!

Oh, you completely just violated King's Quest right there.

Dude.  Look at the picture.  I think it's GRAHAM who's going to be doing the violating.   :suffer:

Valanice had a BIG surprise waiting for her when she left that tower  ;)

get older - but in the end you'll pack up, fly down south, hide your head in the sand.  Just another sad old man, all alone and dying of cancer." - Dogs, Pink Floyd.

He's just wearing a codpiece, anyone know about medieval clothing styles?  

Real men wear kilts!
Well, ya, King's Quest is on Earth. Daventry is very old city from a long time ago. It's in ruins now and people aren't quite sure exactly where it used to be. There are some archaeologists searching through the ruins, they think they know its Daventry. But its somewhere on Earth."-Roberta Williams http://kingsquest.wikia.com/wiki/File:Daventryisearth.ogg

Sir Perceval of Daventry

Graham just has a cucumber in his trousers (any fans of Spinal Tap should get this reference ;P )

Amazing how much I derailed the topic with one image!

Back on topic, in the Kingdom of Sorrow novel (I'm reading it now) Graham's blond hair and beard are both described as "short" in length. No Companion-style long mane of hair here.

Oh- that's not so bad then :) Although- I DO feel sorry for him now going through all that snow with short hair D:

That's why he had the beard ;p "for protection against the freezing mountain air."
He should've just regrown it in KQ5, then he wouldn't have had to get that cloak.

Wait a minute...Graham had short blonde hair and a short blonde beard in KOS?
Could this be him in KOS?!:

Well there is a picture or two of him with a mustache in the KQ1 and KQ2 manuals! That's halfway there, if you want sort of an idea!

Bet graham would be a goatee or kinda guy (and wouldn't come off looking like his evil double) or maybe a little chin beard + mustache.

Edit: But if it was sierra era beardy graham (KoS blondy), it would probably end up something like the new "profile pic" I just uploaded ;).

Your new avatar made me stop surfing for a second and go wide eyed. I'm sorry, but Graham in a beard is REALLY not how I picture him. It's not bad, but It's... well I can't say it's not Graham, but it's not how I picture him
Reminds me of Lord British.

No, Graham has the beard at the very beginning of the novel, before he even sets out from Castle Daventry.

I've just started reading See No Weevil (by the same author as Kingdom of Sorrow). Early in the novel, Graham is said to have "short brown hair," and there's no mention of him having facial hair.

Also, Valanice in See No Weevil is said to have auburn hair (a trait taken from the description of her in the KQ2 manual). But in Kingdom of Sorrow her hair color was repeatedly described as light brown. A small difference, but notable.

And in The Floating Castle (which was written by a different author) Valanice's hair was at one point said to be "dark." This is, as far as I can tell, the only reference in the entire book to the physical appearance of any member of the Daventry royal family.

Incidentally, Kingdom of Sorrow does describe Rosella's hair as blonde, which concurs with how she looks in the actual games.
