Hello Eoin!
I cant thank you enough for artemis fowl…I dunno if hes the best role model but the way he talks and thinks reminds me a bit of myself (a bit of a cliche but true) well anyway im not sure if I will buy the graphic novel as ive never ever read anything like that and as I know the plot of the 1st book I am not sure if I will like it. well anyways I really hope you are not done with the book series cause even though in publishing terms it hasnt been a long time for the next book it still feels like a long time since ive finished reading “the lost colony” 4 times (and each of the other books 5 ) so please please give us some assurance as there will be a sequel book to the series so at least we know theres something to wait for and about the movie….I first heard about it like years ago but now its like it was gone like a wisp of smoke…dunno whats causing the delay but make it right! (sorry really anxious) well keep up the good work and maybe one day hopefully you will come to israel as there are quite alot of fans here…

Sincerely
Evia

well - yes - hi again
matt said it- I WANT THE MOVIE! and THE SIXTH BOOK! and possibly the graphic novel, but i’ll get it anyway because you are on your way to becoming the TOP AUTHOR and therefore I must have all your works (BTW, i love The Wish List and the Supernaturalists - very original). It’s kind of the rules. I have all Tamora Pierce’s works, and all of J.K. Rowling’s work (who doesn’t?) and all of J.R.R. Tolkien’s works. I mean really. You obviously are next! and after you, Anthony Horowitz, if only for the fact he has put me out of my mind.
if you have any say in what goes on in the movie, make sure it’s TRUE TO THE BOOK! i ABHOR movies that slaughter books. they are my anathema. FIGHT BACK, MR. COLFER! RESISTANCE!

thank you very much

Goodness! There’s going to be a graphic novel? That’s quite amusing because whenever I read a book, I like to try and recreate my favorite scenes by drawing them in manga form. I’m not that good, but I find it quite enjoyable to have my own view of the worlds in books. If your wondering what some people have conjured up as anime forms of Arty and his friends, you should see some of the fan sites! Its quite refreshing. There’s a particular illustration that depicts Artemis in a green suit holding a sign that reads, “Kiss me, I’m Irish” I absolutley love that picture. I’m always nervous when companies make movies and create visuals to go along with the books because unless there is a set image of a particular character or place, people are always going to imagine it differently and in their own way. It chills me when I’ve been imagining this one character all along and it turns out to resemble nothing of what I was thinking in the movies.

When ever I find out that one of my favorite authors is writing a manga (graphic novel) I get so excited! I did the same thing when I discovered the Artemis manga that I did when I found out that Meg Cabot was doing a manga sequel to Avalon High- I let out a fangirl SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Believe me, you should be honored by the squee. Keep the books coming, PLEASE. Oh, and whenever you go on tour PLEASE, I beg of you, come to North Carolina, preferably the Charlotte area. It’s so annoying that none, and I do mean NONE, of my fave authors EVER come here. They may go to Virginia, and Tennessee, and South Carolina, and every other freakin’ state that borders NC, but thay never actually come here! Sorry if I sound bitter, but it’s a sore issue.

Love ya lots,

P.S. I’m also glad that you started a blog- I’m an author blog addict.

Stumbled across reference to the graphic novel of Artemis Fowl on amazon today. Fantastic news! I’m a Librarian in a Primary School and have three children of my own. Two of them need no encouragement to read, and have both devoured the conventional novels, the third is a trial! Recently bought him a Judge Dread graphic novel… he’s only 10 but I’m desperate!!! He loved it. Think I’ve found my hook so utterly delighted to see Artemis will soon be in graphic form. Hope it’s a huge hit and sets a trend for ‘child friendly’ graphic novels.

Hi, I have read all of the Artemis Fowl books, when i read them I pictured what was happening in my head. I know that a lot of what I pictured in my mind was unacurate so I cannot wait for the graphic novel! If the graphic novel is coming out in September then I cannot wait until September. I hope that its good, but all of your work is.
Bye!!:)

Being an English teacher and having been with dear Artemis since it was only one hardcover book, the minute I saw there was a graphic novel I almost jumped out of my seat.

I want to see a preview so bad…..Most of my students are waiting for this book, so please publish it!! (Just kidding, I know good things are worth the wait)

I’m really interested in a graphic novel. A lot of people have misconceptions about them: but they really are works of art. Not at all like the dumb, over the top comic books one see documentaries about.
Have you ever seen ‘Abadazad’? It’s sorta a kid’s book, but it’s partially graphic… a good idea to help newer readers be interested in the book.
I’m so tired of mangas or D&D being the only books under the ‘Graphic Novel’s’ section of the book store. THANK YOU EOIN!!!
Anyhoo, I hope to do one myself some day, both write and illustrate, that is. I can’t wait to see what some of my most favorite novel-characters would look like! Esp. Foaly’s swivel-chair…. That has always confused me… and i don’t know why, but i always imagined Foal’s fur as being blue… go figure. (???)
-your 365th fan! (number one is WAY creepy. I got a life)

I think an artemis fowl graphic novel would be awesome. I started on the books last week, and I had no idea they would be this addicting. I have been hooked from the first chapter of the first book. I have to say that I am a HUGE fan of graphic novels. I have stripped my local library dry of any graphic novels at all (And there are not that many there). I read the Star Wars Clone Wars graphics novels and they were awesome. Most of the time the characters looked like they did in the movies. And if you have a guy who worked on Batman, then I trust ya’ll implicitly to make it awesome. Batman is one opf my favourite graphic novel series, and he is definitely the BEST superheroes ( I guess he cant really qualify as that, can he?)
Well, it was fun posting
