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.
