Graphix details: Newsarama talks with Scholastic's creative director, David Saylor, about the genesis of the company's new graphic novel imprint called Graphix. The line will launch next year with Bone, which will set the tone for future offerings:
 
"We're looking for are stories and artwork that have a point-of-view, that are 'creator-driven'-meaning that in the same way we publish Newbery-winning author, Karen Hesse, who has deeply-felt emotional content in all her work, we want to publish talented artists and writers that bring something exciting to children. We're not interested in creating generic or blandly obvious comics.”
 
The article also lists  the imprint's upcoming titles -- some of which were mentioned last week by Publishers Weekly: Queen Bee, by Chynna Clugston-Major (Blue Monday, Scooter Girl); The Babysitters Club, adapted by Raina Telgemeier from Ann M. Martin's best-selling series; the tentatively titled High School Confidential, by Aimee Friedman and Christine Norrie (Hopeless Savages); an adaptation of the Goosebumps series; and a science fiction graphic-novel adaptation by Jon J. Muth.
