Speaking of florid cyberpunkian prose, how about a great way to spend a Friday? I saw this graphic novel in a comic books shop (Monkey’s Retreat in Columbus, Ohio) back in high school. I haven’t been able to find it until BoingBoing dug it up. I’m kind of afraid of reading because, as far as I remember, it was so cool that I had to go get some cash and come back for it but when I returned, alas and alack, it was gone.
Best of all? Gibson wrote in to BB to say:
The tragic thing about that adaptation, for me, was that the artist apparently couldn’t draw girls. Not a all. Like he’d missed life class entirely. Molly looks like a dude.
Go buy the book right now if you haven’t read it. Seriously.
I bought the graphic novel; still have it; its sitting in storage - I’ll have to pull it out and read it now. I also remember going to the comic shop waiting for vol2 to come out. Never did - until a few years ago (2002?) when an cyberpunk anthology came out (can’t remember the name) with the missing vol2. Didn’t end up buying it though as I had lost interest in the visual adaptation of the novel.
@Mike. Same with me. But I wonder why the person didn’t just make it a cbr instead? It’d take me way too long to find it from storage (which is currently a 50 mile drive) but reading a bunch of jpgs is annoying.
FFView and be done with.
