Since this is the Year of the Dragon, it seems the right time to launch the graphic novel of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. (Okay, so that is a stretch!)


The graphic version of Steig Larsson's mega seller is set the hit the shelves during November, barely making it for the Year of the Dragon!

Crime author Denise Mina will write the book, with the cover image created by Lee Bermejo and art from Leonardo Manco and Andrea Mutti. In a press release, DC Entertainment’s Vertigo imprint stated that it is working closely with the estate of Stieg Larsson and Hedlund Literary Agency to adapt the book.

I think Scottish writer Denise Mina will bring a new sensibility and insight to the character of Lisbeth Salander.

Her novels, which include The End of the Wasp Season, Deception and Field of Blood, have a dark approach that have made her an international best seller. Mina is no stranger to graphic novels. Mina has also written for Vertigo’s Hellblazer series. Her latest graphic novel is A Sickness in the Family, also for Vertigo.

Bermejo's latest work is the graphic novel Batman: A Novel, a New York Times best-seller and follow-up to the 2008 hit Joker. Argentinean artist Manco has worked extensively on Vertigo’s Hellblazer series.
