Subject: Just a thought I had.

Just want to know your opinion of something I thought made sense. I have seen some nice renditions of Laurell's characters. JC and Anita by a couple of people.
They remind me of comic book art.
So there fore I thought wouldn't it be nice to see a comic book series of her books. Either in addition to the books or using what she already has in print. Something in comic format. That way we can see the characters.
I think that she should approve of it so that someone's artwork can be used and we can see it and enjoy it.
I still don't like the new cover art on her books.
Just something I wanted to know. How other people would see it. It seems like everyone else wants a film but I don't.
I ran it by another board and some people don't seem to agree.
She has spurned art work and fan fic. Even if she doesn't like it she should be flattered.It would have to have her approval anyway.

well... -- becca, 12:35:23 03/02/03 Sun

well i suppose it'd be cool, but it's rated R or even NC-17 sometimes...so i think it'd be a bit difficult to make it a comic book series. they would have to sell it in the comic book section where kids buy their editions of spiderman and x-men. unless there's a back room somewheres where you have to be 18 or older then i suppose it'd be fine, but that just seems like too much work. i think it's easier to put into movie form because then you can sensor it easier. but that's just me.

I know LKH and Berkley publishing spurn fanfic for legal reasons...but where did you hear she spurns artwork? If that was the case then Paty Cockrum's art would never have been posted on the fan club site. And I have gotten compliments, at least from Darla through Kimmy, the webmistress for my gallery, on my rendition of the portrait and the JC tub pic.

I think that the comic is an interesting idea. Certainly worth some thought at least. But myself personally, I'd much rather see a movie made. (I'd like to direct it, but that's just wishful thinking.) I think it would do a much better job of bringing the whole thing to life, which is what I'd like to see. Just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents.

i dont much care of the comic idea. I agree becca, but even in a movie the rating would be a rating of R or worse.
