Peter Straub to write Vertigo Original Graphic Novel
I may be the only one here who cares, but apparently DC has signed acclaimed horror novelist Peter Straub to write an original graphic novel, The Green Woman. I'm a fan of Straub's, personally, and I think this is way cool.
With Stephen King's The Dark Tower going on and the news that they're going to do a manga series based on Dean Koontz's Odd Thomas, it seems like this is certainly the era for horror novelists to crack into comics.
Cool. Thanks for letting us know, Blake.

Gotta earn my stripes somehow, right?
There's a short story about it over at Newsarama if you want a few more details.
Very much so and I will also add that to the page.

That's awesome. I love most Vertigo stuff.
There's one hole in every revolution, large or small. And it's one word long.. people. No matter how big the idea they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened. It's people that kill every revolution.

Peter Straub is the only author who literally had me jump out of my skin. I was reading Ghost story and got so into it that when my Grandmother snuck up behind me, i amost hit the ceiling. No other author had ever affected me that way.
But will you get his comic?
I'm sure as hell going to try.
