Twilight Graphic Novel Vol 1 Released March 16th
This just in from Amanda Bell – The twilight examiner!
Newly revealed on Entertainment Weekly is the graphic novel of Twilight by Young Kim – a project which was announced last July and which Twilight series author Stephenie Meyer took a heavy hand in.
Entertainment Weekly’s feature also includes a first-look at a page of the story – the biology scene. Looking at the image, it is clear that the book is based upon the sequences of events in Twilight the book rather than the film adaptation.
Supplementing the images is an interview that Meyer did with EW about the graphic novel.
In the interview, Meyer revealed that the graphic novel was a source of return, for her, to the days of writing the story.
For me, it takes me back to the days when I was writing Twilight. It’s been a while since I was really able to read Twilight; there is so much baggage attached to that book for me now. It seems like all I can see are the mistakes in the writing. Reading Young’s version brought me back to the feeling I had when I was writing and it was just me and the characters again. I love that. I thank her for it.
Meyer also revealed that, while a continuance of the Twilight series wasn’t altogether impossible, she is not currently working on another portion of the novel series. “But there’s still a possibility that I’ll go back and close some of the open doors,” she explained.
Beautiful cover, huh? Be sure to check out EW for the exclusive first-look at a page from the book. Also, note that the graphic novel will be released on March 16th, with 350,000 copies.
UPDATE: Twilight Lexicon has the official press release from Little, Brown Publishing Co. here.
