Twilight Graphic Novel Publishes 3/16

Twilight Graphic Novel

The long-awaited graphic novel version of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight will be released next Tuesday, March 16. This book has been illustrated by Korean comics artist Young Kim and will be released in two separate volumes. Sadly, no release date has been announced for the second volume.

According to Meyer, “Young has done an incredible job transforming the words that I have written into beautiful images. The characters and settings are very close to what I was imagining while writing the series.” Click here to add your name to the holds list for this exciting new release.
