“My approach to creating the graphic novel was simple: come up with a new story set in the Shannara world. My concerns about having to write and draw the story were quickly resolved. Stick figures and dialogue consisting of exclamations were the limit of my very rudimentary[comics] skills, so writer Robert Napton and artist Edwin David were brought aboard to do the heavy lifting.”—Novelist Terry Brooks on the process of creating a manga/graphic novel adaptation of bestselling prose series,Shannara
