How did the Vampire Huntress graphic novels and manga come about?
LAB: We’re coming out with a young adult Vampire Huntress Legend series, about the children of the Guardians, because the battle wages on. There are still pieces of story left that readers are very interested in. I had enough to do scenes, but not whole novels between where The Thirteenth ends and where the young adult series begins in 2010. So, we’re going to do a lot of post-apocalyptic adventures in the graphic novels. The manga is going to start before Minion, the first book in the VHL series, when Damali is about fifteen years old, before she even knows she is a Neteru. There is a story about how she and Carlos get together and what happens that summer. There is another about how she gets together with Marlene and comes into her powers. LF: Are you writing those scripts? LAB: I am. LF: Had you written graphic novels before? LAB: Never did it in my life and I had a learn as you go course! The people at Dabel Brothers talked me through it. It was like suddenly finding myself landing
