Del Rey Books Buys Kim Harrison Graphic Novels

In a new deal, urban fantasy author Kim Harrison will script three original stories for graphic novels from Del Rey Books.

The books will focus on Harrison’s witch heroine, Rachel Morgan. Editor-in-chief Betsy Mitchell bought world rights to three original stories set in Harrison’s world of vampires, werewolves, demons and more. Harrison will script the graphic novels herself.

Here’s more from the release: “The first will be a prequel to Dead Witch Walking, to be told from the point of view of Rachel’s friend Ivy, when both women were employed by Inderlander Security. The deal was negotiated by agent Richard Curtis.”
