This! About once every decade some comics publisher gets the brilliant idea that they can hack success by hiring bestselling prose authors to write graphic novels.

Spoiler: for 9 out of 10 books this makes a really mediocre graphic novel that does not sell well! (1/2)

Comics are actually very difficult to write if you’re coming from a prose-writing background.

It’s a VERY different skillset from prose—in fact, it’s closer to writing a screenplay than a novel. You gotta know enough about film language and camera to make the comic panels & art *mean* something.

theo stultz @theoplum.bsky.social · 17d

you cannot be telling bad prose authors that they should pivot to writing graphic novels instead bc of their bad prose. Hello

a photo of a sheet of paper on a table. the paper contains a loose pencil drawing of Joan of Arc, who stands feet together with her hands clasped in prayer as she looks distantly at nothing. She wears metal armor with a cross necklace. Around her is a biblical glow.
