Twilight: the graphic novel to be published in US on March 16

Yen Press is to release a manga-influenced graphic novel adaptation of Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight. Korean artist Young Kim, with a background in fine arts, will work side-by-side with Meyer whilst creating the artwork.

Twilight: The Graphic Novel, Vol. 1 will begin being released in the US on March 16, with a first printing of 350,000 copies. International release dates are yet to be announced.

"I didn’t do the original ‘script’ for the book, so to speak, but when I got the dialogue with the images, I did a lot of tinkering. In a couple of places, I asked for missing scenes to be inserted.

"I’ve enjoyed working on this new interpretation of Twilight, Young has done an incredible job transforming the words that I have written into beautiful images," said Meyer.

Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight books have been sold in nearly 50 countries and 85 million copies have been sold worldwide. Each of the four novels in the saga has sold over a million copies in the UK and the first two films in the series have been box office hits.
