Comic Book Adaptation
"Hinterlands" was adapted and illustrated as a comic in 1995 by Vancouver artist Gavin Lonergan. The William Gibson Aleph has called the comic an "interesting evocation of the fake paradise of the short story". The comic was twenty pages in length, anthologised in two sections which appeared in Freeflight #5 and #6, Dec/Jan 95 and Apr/May 95. The look of the comic is similar to Moebius and Gibson was directly involved in the adaptation process.

Famous quotes containing the words comic, book and/or adaptation:
“Of course, the comic figure in all this is the long-suffering Mr. Wilkes. Mr. Wilkes—who can’t be mentally faithful to his wife and won’t be unfaithful to her technically.”
—Sidney Howard (1891–1939)
“The demonstrations are always early in the morning, at six o’clock. It’s wonderful, because I’m not doing anything at six anyway, so why not demonstrate?... When you’ve written to your president, to your congressman, to your senator and nothing, nothing has come of it, you take to the streets.”
—Erica Bouza, U.S. jewelry designer and social activist. As quoted in The Great Divide, book 2, section 7, by Studs Terkel (1988)
“In youth the human body drew me and was the object of my secret and natural dreams. But body after body has taken away from me that sensual phosphorescence which my youth delighted in. Within me is no disturbing interplay now, but only the steady currents of adaptation and of sympathy.”
—Haniel Long (1888–1956)
