Talisman Series Discussion Thread

[Ben Staad]

John? JIMHO it's somewhat of a sad commentary on the the present generation that in order to generate "new interest" in classic novels they have to become "Graphic Novels". I don't argue that its good business, but its a shame that this generation will, predominantly, only relate to the Graphic Novel and not the "Original book".

Funny story, I have mentioned a Used Book store called "Bookman's" here before. So happens, there's an "Atomic Comics" in the same strip mall. I walk in to pick up my "collector" copies of the Talisman and engage the clerk in a conversation. Turns out, he LOVES the story and can't wait to find out what happens next. I walk out, buy a used copy of "Talisman" at Bookman's for $6 and hand it to the kid at Atomic. I say "hear ya go". Never found out if he read it or waited for the GN version!!! LOL

That's an awesome story. I would really like to know if the guy actually read the book or not.

My bet is he is still working on it (so many words!!!) especially since they shit-canned the Graphic Novel. Far as I know!!! LOL
