I'd like to suggest the adjective "comics" be changed to "visual arts" or
something like that. Neil has had more than one of his works transferred
(through an obviously very expensive process) to the big screen. After 40
years we may need to accept that Wolfe's work just isn't seen as amenable
to this process.
I think it would be quite a mistake to think that Wolfe looks down his nose
at authorial work which translates well to visual.
