Assassin's Apprentice comic book (possible spoilers)

[Farseer]

I, too, had seen a page or two of this before somewhere, but of a black and white version.

I'd be interested to discover if it has been given the go ahead by Robin...going on her publicly-expressed guidelines, the artwork would be ok but the text itself would be fanfic? Possibly both together in that format she's satisfied that it couldn't be confused with her work?

Hmm...I'd also have thought that she would consider a comic in a negative light as it could be seen as being similar to making a movie version of her books...that some people would be content with just reading the comic and then never take the next step to go back and read the original book (a reason why Robin is apparently disinterested in making any RotE books into a movie). There is another thread about that, and a link to Robin's comments, elsewhere on thePlenty somewhere...

I've always been a bit of a comic fan (I read anything!) so would consider reading this if it had Robin's permission and was available in English...actually, I'd probably still read it if it was in French:exclamation:..if it's RotE, I want it! I'd be less interested in the artwork than I would the text or the actual story that the artwork was communicating but I could see that it would be important to those who enjoy the artwork side of things more or who are familiar with the processes of creating the artwork.

In saying that, I also don't particularly like seeing other people's artistic interpretations of what a character looks like...or their choice of an actor to play a role that completely opposed my pre-conceived image.

A cartoon is due to come out here in Australia at the beginning of May and it is based on a popular children's series of books which has been a huge favourite of our family (mentioned previously in another thread). The main character has been given blonde hair as opposed to the very dark hair I'd pictured him with for the last nine years - it blew my mind and has altered my perception of him for all time!

Thanks for sharing Chrischa!
