I still haven't picked it up, but I may read it eventually.<br /><br />The same day I saw the Kill Shakespeare book, I looked around and was amazed at the number of graphic novel versions of other standard novels. I saw Moby Dick, a book from the "Ender's Game" universe, a graphic novel adaptation of Poe's The Raven, Stephen King, Laurell K. Hamilton, and on and on.<br /><br />It's interesting to see the cross over from the market. I'm not an avid enough Graphic Novel reader to know for sure, but I suspect there are probably some Graphic Novels that have later become 'Written' Novels.<br /><br />I might have to do a little research and see what may be driving this crossover (rather than just the simple answer of "make more money")Okiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01393689307300304035noreply@blogger.com
