Dark Horse Comics has announced that Eisner - award winning creator Mark Buckingham (Fables) is adapting four
of New York Times best - selling
author Neil Gaiman's prose short stories for the
upcoming graphic novel anthology Likely Stories, to be published as a hardcover original
graphic novel by Dark Horse
Book later this year.
I had the pleasure in early September
of talking via phone with
author / illustrator Brian Selznick about his latest title, Wonderstruck (Scholastic, September 2011), as well as a bit about the 2008 Caldecott winner The Invention
of Hugo Cabret (Scholastic, 2007); his hybrid style, if you will,
of picture
book, novel, and
graphic novel; and the
upcoming film adaptation
of The Invention
of Hugo Cabret, titled simply Hugo, by Martin Scorsese.
