[Lee]:
Perhaps it's just me, but the term "Comic book" seems like such a reduction
of the HP universe. I can't say why, but, to me, Comic seems too
light-hearted, since this is what the term refers to in the dictionary. I
see a Comic as lacking substance, but, again, maybe it's just me.
Also, for those of us who cannot get the full benefit of the cartoon
pictures with the speaking bubbles (those of us who are blind), such a
medium is a waste.
In the event WB would want to try such a thing, I would like to see the
output portrayed as "Picture Stories" rather than "Comic Books." Again,
perhaps it's me, but a "Picture Story" might lend itself to more substance.
All this is just my take on the whole idea. For those who can enjoy such a
medium, it might be interesting; to put such a medium in audio format for
the rest of us would be impossible! <BEG>
Cheers,
Lee :-)
