Neil Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book to become a graphic novel

February 13, 2014 by Brigid Alverson   1 comments

P. Craig Russell and a posse of other artists are hard at work adapting Neil Gaiman’s 2008 children’s novel The Graveyard Book into graphic-novel form.

Russell has worked with Gaiman on a number of adult comics, including several issues of The Sandman and the standalone story Murder Mysteries, which will be reissued in a new edition later this year. While he is supervising this adaptation, each chapter will be done by a different artist; the roster includes Jill Thompson, creator of Magic Trixie and Scary Godmother, who has also collaborated with Gaiman on the Sandman series.

Gaiman posted the news, along with a few preview pages, on his blog.

    Neil Gaiman’s books always lend themselves so well to these sort of adaptions! (the graphics for Coraline and Stardust were fantastic) I’m really looking forward to this one.
