Retirement and Comic Books

Robert Jordan

I certainly have no intention of retiring. As a matter of fact, I’ve said quite seriously, I intend to keep writing until they nail my coffin shut, and if I can get a keyboard into the coffin, or even a yellow pad and a pencil, I’m not guaranteeing I’ll stop then.

At the moment, I am working on a comic book with the Dabel Brothers and Red Eagle Entertainment. It is a comic book adaptation of New Spring , the novel. It will be eight issues, I believe it is, and when it is done, they will be gathered as a graphic novel. The artwork is by a guy named Mike Miller, and it is simply fantastic, I have to tell you. It’s really just fantastic artwork. The way we worked that is Chuck Dixon, who’s a well known writer of comic books, comes up with the script, sends it to me. I make changes and send it back to him, and then it goes to Mike Miller for the drawings. And then the inks are sent to me, and I say, “Well, you’ve got to do this, you have to do that.” And then the colors are sent to me, and I say, “Well, no no no, this is not quite right and that’s right.” And eventually the comic comes out.
