I'm finding out that a lot of long-running series I read as a kid were ghostwritten by different people at one point. Which is shocking, but also makes sense since there was always a point where I didn't like them anymore for some reason. The only one who I think wrote all his books is R.L.

Martin only wrote the first 35 herself." WHAT. My entire childhood just turned itself inside out. O_O Wow, and I just realized that my manga collecting tendencies started as BSC collecting tendencies. I didn't have every book from every series, but I was DAMN NEAR CLOSE. :D Now I guess I'll check out the GNs, since I saw a few in my library. “…original author Ann M.

It makes me feel better about my tastes as an 8-year-old. Of course, I have no idea how the later volumes that Martin didn't actually write stand up...

Unlike most of the Yen Press "Little,Brown book to comic" thing they've been doing, Cirque is 100% manga and I think it was made without Yen's involvement. Obviously they snatched rights to it due to their parent company, and got out the first 3 volumes in time for that god-awful movie which barely even follows the first three volumes, but the manga did make me go to the library and read the entire Cirque du Freak novel series. But I also kept buying the manga as they came out too, I quite liked the adaptation and I really hope that Yen Press (or anyone) licenses the artists' newest work Arago. Sure, the artwork for Darren Shan can be rough at times in the early volumes, but he seems to get it down by the halfway point.

SO much nostalgia from reading this post. Glad to see they've stood the all important time test though, and the graphic novel adaptions do them justice. Oh man.
