Novel art: Graphic novels bringing new fans, life to comic book series
Thursday, August 03, 2006
By Carl Hoover - Tribune-Herald entertainment editor
Those hoping to get a jump on what’s coming soon to movie theaters may want to swap watching movie trailers for a visit to the local comic book shop or bookstore to scope out the latest graphic novels.
The graphic novel, a slick, artistic and upscale cousin of the comic book, has emerged as a new player in printed media.
Graphic novels serve as rich source material for film producers looking for ready-to-visualize stories, and they’re viewed as product extensions of comic book publishers, video game makers and television series.

Television, too, is returning the favor of comic book inspiration (“Smallville’s” imagining of a young Clark Kent in rural Kansas, for instance, borrows from Superman for All Seasons) by supplying storylines for graphic novels. The sci-fi series “Stargate” and “Battlestar Galactica” have extra adventures found in graphic novel form.
