Tue Apr 19, 6:17 AM ET Entertainment - USATODAY.com By Carol Memmott, USA TODAY Nancy Drew is 75 years old and still the hippest girl in town. Fresh from getting a new hybrid car and cell phone from Simon & Schuster last year, Nancy now gets her first graphic novel, one of the fastest-expanding areas in book publishing. The Demon of River Heights (Papercutz, $7.95 paperback, $12.95 hardcover) is out this week.... Sales of graphic novels have been soaring in the USA and Canada, up from $165 million in 2003 to $207 million a year ago. Rest of the article is at the link (I hope...sometimes those links seem to disappear).

Too cool! :) Thank you for sharing this! :D

I still have this idea that I would like to do a graphic novel. Only two things stop me. No ideas for a story. Not enough talent for the graphics. Sigh. But I still have the idea. :)

:) You could too do the graphics! I'd love to do a graphic novel... but I have no idea where to begin, that and can't get wrapped up in it. I must finish one project at a time :D

I have the story ideas but not talent for the graphics. I started a couple but didn't think the quality of the graphics was adequate so they are just sort of sitting on the webpage right now.

Very few people do both graphics and story equally well. Graphic novels are often (not always) a team effort. But at least you're steps ahead of me...at least you have the story idea! Now you just need to find a compatible collaborator. :)

Idea's and draft scripts even. Dido I wish I could stick to one project at a time.

dialyn how come you have anything in your gallery?

dialyn ( ) posted Wed, 20 April 2005 at 10:39 AM

I took my gallery down. Everything was old and didn't seem relevant any more.

LOL It sounds as if we all have issues sticking to one project at a time! Graphic novels are a wonderful medium for conveying story. I suppose I fall into the group that would love to do one as well, except I don't have the talent for graphics either. But then again, if you look at any graphic novel on the market, there's almost always a writer and an artist listed. Like dialyn said - team effort.
