McQuarrie’s earliest Sith and Wookiee drawings can be mined for inspiration, as can Colin Cantwell’s Death Star. I’m also enjoying the process of taking what I’ve learned writing and researching the three classic trilogy making-of books and transferring some of that to this comic book. It’s fascinating to get into the nuts and bolts of George’s script, to examine closely and interpret, when necessary, fill in a few tiny gaps, and transfer the most visual and exciting aspects to sequential storytelling, panel by panel. I’m pulling my weight, too (or hope I am). I think fans are going to enjoy all this - from the most serious fan to the most casual fan, and perhaps the youngest fan - because George told such a cool, accessible story, and because Mike and Rain are doing such fantastic work. Hats off to Randy Stradley at Dark Horse for finding Mike, and to Mike for recommending Rain. I’m in the middle of adapting issue #5 in the eight-issue arc. As of today artist Mike Mayhew has finished pages for the first issue and is starting on issue #2, roughing in the action colorist Rain Beredo is about half way done on issue #1. By now most fans are aware that George Lucas has given us permission to adapt his rough draft for The Star Wars, which he wrote in 1974.

Without a convenient rain-swept moor to flee to, Mary is forced to admit that real life doesn't follow the same rules as fiction and that if she wants a happy ending, she's going to have to write it herself. But despite her best efforts, she soon finds herself unable to listen to her own good advice and falling for a supposed cad - the same one she warned her friends away from. When some new friends seem in danger of falling for the same tricks employed since the days of Austen and Tolstoy, Mary swoops in to create the Scoundrel Survival Guide, using archetypes of literature's debonair bad boys to signal red flags. Mary Porter-Malcolm has prepared for high school in the one way she knows how: an extensive review of classic literature to help navigate the friendships, romantic liaisons, and overall drama she has come to expect from such an "esteemed" institution. In this clever YA rom-com debut perfect for fans of Kasie West and Ashley Poston, a teen obsessed with nineteenth-century literature tries to cull advice on life and love from her favorite classic heroines to disastrous results - especially when she falls for the school's resident Lothario. The trilogy is set in a universe with a wealth of worlds and artificial orbiting colonies. The three books are each well over a thousand pages long and are not standalone novels, totalling 1.2 million words.

Ender is destined to great things, but first he has to survive Battle School. Ender, as he is called, is of cause a special kid and even among all the gifted kids at Battle School, he is special. It isn’t that important, but one thing that I’m absolutely sure of, is that this isn’t fantasy.Įnder’s Games is a rather special book, first of all it’s a reworking of Scott Cards first published novel, and secondly the story is, to my knowledge one of the only Science Fiction novel, where the main character, and nearly every other character, is a kid. This copy of Ender’s Games, which I have for some strange reason never read, actually have a small sticker on it that says "Fant" (so that it easily can be returned to the correct department). Just the feeling of being surrounded by all those books, can bring a joy to my heart, that can’t even be totally thwarted by the fact that they had merged the (english-) fantasy and the science fiction departments, and just calls them "fantasy" now. Enders Game is the award winning first novel in the Ender Saga, by Orson Scott Card.Ī trip to the library, nearly always bring something good with it. |
