Adapted by P. Craig Russell.
Illustrated by
David LaFuente
&
Scott Hampton.
Also illustrated by P. Craig Russell, Kevin Nowlan, and Galen Showman. Gaiman's 2008 Newbery and Carnegie Medal–winning coming-of-age tale of Nobody "Bod" Owens, a living boy raised by ghosts, is skillfully adapted here to graphic-novel format. Communication of plot and characterization is balanced among narration, speech bubbles, and art in dynamically paced panels. The detailed illustrations--by a range of established comics artists--maintain a consistent style. Review covers these titles: The Graveyard Book Graphic Novel: Volume 1 and The Graveyard Book Graphic Novel: Volume 2.
