Ethan “Fink-Nottle” Kocak: Has anyone done an audio book recording for a graphic novel? Essentially describing the panels as well as the dialogue?

Ok that’s exactly what I was envisioning! Thanks

It's a great audio book ! --- but I don't remember it describing anything that would specifically be panels of a graphic novel. I might be misunderstanding how you mean that though. I think the Whispersync version (if there is one) might do that.

Oh interesting. I am *pretty sure* the type of audio described exists, and I just assumed it was the official audiobook. I’ll try to dig some more.

I would expect it to exist -- and some of the full cast audio books do also use foley effects, but I don't know that any describe the art panels. I had listened to the sample of The Sandman & it didn't reference artwork.

Sometimes extra layers of narrative scaffolding/framework or “connective tissue” are scripted to better serve the story in the audio medium & illuminate visual details auditorially. Check out the audio books of (my client) Sarah Sax’s PICTURE DAY and TRYOUTS against the print versions as examples.

Great, thank you Molly.

I don't know, but it sounds like a good candidate for a radio drama: Foley, actors, probably a narrator, like in the old days. They used to do films like that, in fact:

GraphicAudio (graphicaudio.net) has done some graphic novels, but they're dramatizations, so may not be quite what you had in mind.

I sure hope so cuz i wanna make one for my comic The Fox Who Became A Girl

I'm not sure if it's what you mean so much as they took the same story/script - originally a graphic novel - and adapted it to audio, but the old Star Wars Expanded Universe story Crimson Empire had an audiobook version. Originally it was a Dark Horse comic.

Neil Gaiman’s Sandman is an audiobook on Audible

I haven't recorded it, but I've done it as a live reading event.
