Film, Book, & TV adaptations (YA comics)

What, book adaptations?! But aren't graphic novels books?!

Why yes, but sometimes we get graphic novel adaptations of things that were previously published as non-graphic novels. You know, those books that tell stories but only with words and no pictures.

All the titles in this list tell stories that have also been told through other forms. Some tell the same story, and some build on the original source material. Either way, they're all great reads!
