I was thinking more along the lines of what Poser and other 3d software can do, which don't require the ability to draw as much as the ability to create a design. I don't think all novels should be transformed into graphic novels (I prefer to imagine scenes in my head). But I do think there are people on this forum who have strong skills in graphics and in writing that might find this worthwhile to explore. I worked in branch libraries where there were large number of Spanish-speaking patrons, and that was an audience that had a strong tradition of reading novels in comic book form, so this is not something I find particularly new. I think there has been an English-speaking snobbery that has worked against comic books or graphic novels being taken seriously....until relatively recently. I hope to see something interesting come of all this. It won't be from me, I know, but I still find it interesting.
