Yen Press has finally released details on the graphic novel adaptation of the first Twilight novel by Stephenie Meyer. To stay as true as possible to the prose original the story will be split over two hardback volumes, with Korean artist Young Kim adapting the enormously popular, best-seller, with oversight from Stephenie. The 224 page first volume of the Twilight graphic novel will come out on March 16th. This will be huge and I’d imagine just as the adaptations of Stephen King’s work into comics drew in readers who normally didn’t read in the medium this is going to have strong appeal well outside the regular comics-reading community, which is always a good thing, because a lot of those readers will ask afterwards, what else do you have that I’d enjoy.
