ADAPTIONS
As one of the most celebrated modern short story writers it is natural that
many editors would seek out his work to adapt into comic form. In addition,
Ellison had his own comic book from 1995-96 from Dark Horse Comics which
featured, in addition to adaptations of his work, an original prose story
which was based on the cover painting for that issue. |
