Robert Jordan On Bringing New Spring From Novels To Comics
Without a doubt Robert Jordan is the current reigning king of the fantasy publishing world. His series “The Wheel of Time,” now with 11 volumes, has seen some 11 Million copies in print. Go to any Barnes & Noble or Borders book store and you’ll see an awful lot of shelf space dedicated to his novels.
While the prolific author may have conquered the prose world with relative ease, he’s decided his next challenge will be in bringing the prequel to “The Wheel of Time” series to comics. Red Eagle Entertainment, LLC, a brand management and licensing company, has formed a partnership with Dabel Brothers Productions to bring Jordan’s New Spring: The Novel to the world of comics.
The comic book adaptation, tentatively titled The Wheel of Time: New Spring , is co-written by Jordan and comics writer Chuck Dixon, with art by Mike S. Miller. The first issue is scheduled for release at Comic-Con International in San Diego this coming July, where Jordan is a Guest of Honor. This also marks the emergence of Red Eagle Entertainment in to the comics world with New Spring published under the Red Eagle Publishing banner.
With all that in mind, CBR News caught up with Jordan for a quick chat about “The Wheel of Time,” on bringing his world to comics and his own life long appreciation for the art form.
