Comic Books by "Real" Authors

Recently, several authors who are more noted to writing novels have written comic books. Sometimes its their own works that get turned into a graphic format, or they write a comic storyline with an already established character. Whenever this happens, there is a little buzz in the comic book world that a new, previously untapped audience might be reached. And usually, I try and get these works for the library.

Wonder Woman: Love and Murder by bookclub favorite author Jodi Picoult
Identity Crisis by best selling suspense writer Brad Meltzer.
Welcome to Lovecraft by horror writer Joe Hill.
Ultimate Iron Man by Orson Scott Card, the scifi writer of all the Enders books.
Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter by paranormal fantasy author Laurell K. Hamilton.
In Odd We Trust by all time best seller Dean Koontz.

And yesterday, I picked up for myself a new John Constantine graphic novel called Dark Entries by Ian Rankin who is famous for writing the Rebus mysteries. I'll get it for the library if the budget allows...
