Neil Gaiman Short Story to be Adapted Into a Graphic Novel

By Maryann Yin 

Troll Bridge (GalleyCat)Dark Horse Comics will release a graphic novel adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s short story, “Troll Bridge.” In the past, it was published in the 1998 short fiction collection, Smoke and Mirrors.

Here’s more from the press release: “Troll Bridge tells the story of Jack, a young boy whose world was full of ghosts and ghouls, one of which—a ravenous and hideous troll—would haunt him long into manhood. As the beast sups upon a lifetime of Jack’s fear and regret, Jack must find the courage within himself to face the fiend once and for all.”

Colleen Doran, an artist, has signed on to create the illustrations for this project. The publication date has been scheduled for Sept. 14, 2016.
