Some years ago we posted about the frustrated project of a comic adaptation of Wuthering Heights by the comic book author and artist Tim Fish. Now the author himself announces on
his blog how an excerpt of his work will be available in the upcoming Seven Stories Press' anthology
The Graphic Canon, Volume 2. From Pride and Prejudice to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Edited by Russ Kick and scheduled to appear in July 2012.
I am now ready—and quite pleased—to announce that I will have a graphic excerpt of Emily Brontë's Wuuthering Heights in Seven Stories Press' anthology The Graphic Canon.
Fish-philes will remember I pitched this to Marvel—without success—for their classics line. Though disappointed, that pitch lead to both the Iron Man and Northstar stories published in 2010 (for those who don't remember, read the post by clicking the tag).
Enter Seven Stories, Googling around for the novel, and saw my post announcing my disappointment. One thing leads to another, and I have signed a contract to produce a short excerpt of the story in graphic novel form.
Yay!
And that's an understatement. It's one of my favorite books. I can't wait to get going on it.
