My first boyfriend bought me Daniel Clowes, graphic novel Ghostworld and I’ll always treasure it. I think the movie adaption was sublime. The cast were uniformly brilliant and the movie kept it’s tongue firmly in cheek. Also Zack Snyder’s ambitious adaption of ‘Watchmen’ was flawed but very watchable!

Mine is Tintin. Well, the 2D animation adaptation is superior in content compared with the 3D adaptation although the latter is just enjoyable. I really love Belgian comics (including Les Aventures de Blake et Mortimer and Largo Winch – I really enjoyed the film adaptation of this comic).

As a child, I loved reading “Superman” and “Spiderman” comics and graduated to reading graphic novels, like “Sin City”. To have the opportunity to see these stories, come to life, up on a huge screen is exciting and never tiring to watch!

My favourite film adaptation is Ghost World. When I saw Ghost World years ago I never thought that Graphic Novels were for me. My sister was into X-Men and various super heroes and that’s what I thought Graphic Novels were all about. But then I saw Ghost World and it was so different to my preconceived notions that I thought I better check it out in its Graphic Novel form. Now that’s my kind of Graphic Novel! It totally captured the vibe of my teenage experience, my generation’s (gen-X) existentialism and self indulgent inner voice.
