Comics, especially American comics built by episodes, are increasingly inspiring series creators. Magic keys, demonic creatures… Netflix has just unveiled season 1 of Locke and Key, a new series bordering on horror, which decrypts the transition from adolescence to adulthood. Adapted from successful comics, the series was piloted by Carlton Cuse and Joe Hill. Both are respectively the writer of the comic book and the son of Stephen King. 
Comics adapted to series
Like the slot machines that can be found on Casino777 CH (which take the icons of the comics), the creators of series have been working for several years on the adaptation of comics. From The Walking Dead to the superheroes of Watchmen there is no shortage of examples. It is an almost inexhaustible source of inspiration that has long been neglected by television, unlike cinema, which has quickly been able to draw inspiration from the vein with iconic films such as Superman or Sin City. The comics most often adapted are so-called "graphic novels". These are comics aimed at adults that are longer and less childish. These are comics with a very particular graphic identity , especially from American cartoonists and published in several volumes. These adapt perfectly to the serialized nature of the series that VOD platforms are fond of. 
Moving from drawing to interpretation
The difficulty when adapting a comic book lies in moving from a world of paper where everything is possible thanks to the magic of pencil strokes, to the flesh-and-blood interpretation of the characters. In comics, multiple images are connected. Cartoonists use the juxtaposition of boxes to bring more meaning to the story. The success of an adaptation depends essentially on the reasons why the changes are made compared to the comic. They should not simplify things, but on the contrary improve the scenario.
A French comic soon to be adapted
Next May, Netflix will tackle the adaptation of a heavyweight of the French comic book: Le Transperceneige (written by Jacques Lob and drawn by Jean-Marc Rochette). A true graphic novel, it recounts the post-apocalyptic epic in black and white of 1982. Bong Joon-ho (Parasite) had already adapted it to the cinema in 2013. we can't wait to see what Netflix will concoct for us!
