World of Warcraft, Book One by Walter Simonson, Ludo Lullabi and Sandra Hope

A human warrior washes up on the shores of Duratar, with no recollection as to who he is, or how he arrived there.  The man is thrust into the thick of battle immediately, and his prize for evading certain death at the teeth of a hungry crocodile is conscription into the gladiator force of orc shaman Rehgar Earthfury.  His first quest is not so simple: with no memory, he must rely on his fighting instincts to stay alive, as he searches for his true identity!  He’s aided in his quest by unlikely allies: Broll Bearmantle –a shape-shifting night elf bound to Rehgar’s service –and Baleera Sanguinar –a blood elf whose childlike form conceals a cunning mind and lust for recognition.  This unlikely trio will try to uncover the secrets of Lo’Gosh’s past, but they must first rely on his instinctive prowess in combat if they are to survive their first challenge: the arena at Dire Maul!
