Khan,

If you don't mind me asking, why are you posting these?

[The_Khan]

No, I don't mind you asking Scheherazade my friend. We're adapting the works of some authors such as George R.R. Martin, Robert Jordan, Robert Silverberg, Tad Williams, Raymond E. Feist, Laurell K. Hamilton, Orson Scott Card and many others. All the while more and more authors are joining us everyday. As we adapt these books, I want to hear the feedbacks of those who read the books already and can give me some input as to if they think the adaptations are true to the books.

Scheherazade my friend have you read any of these authors I have links for? If you have what are your thoughts? I'm eager to hear your response. Thanks and talk to you soon

i've read a lot of Orson scott card . . . haven't read wyrms for a while, but the covers look cool; a bit comic-booky, but certainly eye-catching. i don't know about the other authors; i don't always pay attention to names.

Adapting how? And who is 'we'?

I have read only The Seventh Son by Card; I cannot say I thought much of it because nothing major seemed to happen in it but a friend of mine, Papaya, said something actually does happen in later books so when I have time, I might read those too!

[The_Khan]

Mir my friend I'm happy to hear that you are a fan of Orson Scott Card. Yes, we went with a comic-booky feel in order to hook the comic book fans so that they can go to bookstores and read OSC's books. You can check out the "Orson Scott Card's Alvin Maker Adaptation" thread to see a cover that is not as comic-booky looking


Scheherazade my friend, we are taking author's novels and adapting them into the graphic medium. 'We', that would be my brothers and I. I'm Ernst by the way the oldest of the Dabel Brothers and we are adapting Robert Jordan, George R.R. Martin, Tad Williams, Raymond E. Feist, Laurell K. Hamilton, and many others. Every day new authors are joining us so our library is only getting bigger

I spoke to Scott and he told me that he wanted us to start off first with the Red Prophet, which is the second book in the Alvin Maker series, a lot happens in that one, and then he wants us to go back to Seventh Son and then we'll move forward regularly. You should read the remaining books when you get a chance. If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask me. Also please check out my other threads so you can see some of the other projects we are currently adapting, enjoy

I haven't read Wyrms at all. I have read one 'Folk of the Fringe', and four of the Ender books. My favourite has to be Shadow of Ender. Was there any one of his books that really stood out to you, that you could recommend?

Thanks!
Gringoire

[mir]

huh - i haven't read Shadow of Ender yet. well, my personal favorites of Card's books are probably either Ender's Game, Ender's Shadow, or Enchantment. Wyrms is cool, but a bit . . . i don't know, weird. : ) it's good writing, though.

And Khan, are you doing new cover for ALL of Card's books? i'd sort of like to see what your designs are for Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow - my copies are falling apart.

[The_Khan]

Gringoire my friend, when you get a chance you should definitely check out Wyrms. You should also check out his Alvin Maker Series, and if you do, start off with Red Prophet, which is the second book. We will be adapting that one first and the first issue will be on the comic book shelves at the end of this month.

Mir my friend the Ender's series is really awesome. I read Enchantment and really enjoyed it as well. You're right Wyrms is a bit...weird, that's sci-fi for you, lol

Oh no, not for the books my friend. We're only doing covers for the adaptations of the novels, which will be out in comic book form, once we're done with 6 issues, they will be compiled into a graphic novel. Once I have a five page preview of Wyrms ready, I will be sure to show you in order to get your feedback.

Here are some sketches of Unwyrm, enjoy and have a nice weekend

Oops!
Sorry, I meant Ender's Shadow, not Shadow of Ender.
I'll take a look though at Wyrms.
Thanks,

Thanks for the reccomendation.
I like 1a, and the two last sketches you posted.
God bless you,

The Khan,

Thank you very much for your patient explanations! These are great drawings and must be a lot of hard work. How long have you been doing this kind of work?

So you are turning Card's books into some sort of comics? Why do authors want to do that? Not enough people are reading them in the usual text format?

Also, will these adaptations be available only online or in print as well? Wondering if it is OK for you to post them here (copyright and all that)?

Scher, check out this thread, it answers some of your q's

Thanks for the link, Logos! I didn't realise that The Khan has been posting similar things in the Forum before my time as well. The drawings they make are amazing!
