Graphic Novel?

I have been approached by a very talented artist I know, with an intriguing and enticing proposal. He would like to create a graphic novel of one of Derek Hart's works. Now I just naturally leaned towards a certain dragon. However, I'd like to solicit your feedback as well. I've added a poll asking that very question and I hope you'll take a few seconds to give me your input, please.

Personally, I like graphic novels. I have purchased several over the years and wasn't surprised when my copy of 300 was made into a movie. Visually, they are usually quite dramatic, even startling and the plots are often quirky or unusual. The Caped Crusader Batman enjoyed a rebirth of popularity when graphic novels brough his crime-fighting ways to a new generation.

It's little wonder that movie studios like them too, because a graphic novel is like reading storyboards. The work has already been done. Then a director and computer special-effects wizard can sit down and create the world for the big screen.

There are elements of Secret of the Dragon's Eye that would easily translate to a graphic novel format. First, the dragon would be an artist's dream to create, with author's input, of course. Remember those nasty Nazis too. And the other dragons, especially Verbrennan Drache. I have informed the artist that I'm interested and perhaps he will be inspired to do a few draft renditions, which I can post for your appraisal.

This has potential to reach to another market. Many young adults won't read an entire book, but they'll zip through a graphic novel. If such a media format can capture their imagination just long enough, then maybe they'll read the book.
