"Likewise LKH does not seem to realise that comics have, um, pictures. That, or she is overly thrilled by her own deathless prose and seems to feel that no reader can understand the true flavour of the original novel if the comic does not incorporate vast chunks of narration. By now, one would think that LKH would understand this medium, considering how deeply she has involved herself with the editorial process of this thing."
Some authors, even pros, are hell to work with because they can not stand to cut their poor little baby novel up. LKH is very clearly one of these based on the lack of editing in her latest books and her attitude about it in her blogs. So it comes as no surprise that she's unwilling to cut stuff out of the comic or reword it to take advantage of the pictures.
