Yes - it would be unthinkable for him to write a graphic novel about characters and situations originally appearing in prose novels.<br>

I suppose you're referring to Moore's "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen," though I think he's doing something like he did in "Watchmen" -- a deconstruction of the world of heroic pulp fiction by putting all these characters into the same world and letting realistic consequences flow from that. He's not trying to re-create those characters exactly as they were in the novels, but to do something new with them.</blockquote>
