SherlockChronicles.orgTwilight: The Graphic Novel
After the success of the first Twilight movie, Yen Press will release a graphic novel of the romance between Edward and Bella on 16 March 2010.
While some believe that this is Twilight overload, the artwork does look promising. Both Edward and Bella bear similarities to Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, but there are elements of the book's physical descriptions in there.
Twilight: The Graphic Novel contains selected text from Meyer's original novel with illustrations by Korean artist Young Kim. A rare fusion of Asian and Western comic techniques is reflected in this black-and-white graphic novel with color interspersed throughout. Meyer consulted throughout the artistic process and had input on every panel.
Stephenie Meyer worked closely with Young Kim to help shape the novel.
"Young has done an incredible job transforming the words that I have written into beautiful images. The characters and settings are very close to what I was imagining while writing the series."
"I was definitely involved. I didn’t do the original 'script' for the book, so to speak. But when I got the dialogue with the images, I did a lot of tinkering. In a couple of places, I asked for missing scenes to be inserted. For example, the conversation in the car that Bella and Edward have after she faints in Biology.”
You can expect the graphic novel to be around $19.99 ($22.99 CAN, £8.44). It is available to pre-order on Amazon.
