Oh, that's fantastic! ( laughs) I wanted to talk to you a little bit about the process of adapting your own work for a graphic novel. I read it all the time, so I knew what the website was, and I don't know many websites. I did grow up reading the Artemis Fowl series, so this is sort of a big deal for me as well as for Collider.ĮOIN COLFER: Well, no, it's great. Artemis’s adventure are being translated to comics by Michael Moreci and illustrated by Stephen Gilpin, and the team (Colfer included) have made it up to The Eternity Code, the third book in the series that follows what happens after Artemis lets fairy technology fall into the wrong hands.ĬOLLIDER: First off, I would like to say it is an honor to get to talk with you. The hit series has inspired a number of spinoffs, and even a film adaptation for Disney+, and now, the classic books are being translated into something all new: graphic novels. The series, started in 2001 and completed in 2012, follows the titular Artemis Fowl, a boy genius and teenage criminal mastermind who finds himself involved with a magical underworld, filled with fairies, goblins, and all sorts of other creatures. One such title is the Artemis Fowlseries, written by Eoin Colfer, now over twenty years old and still inspiring kids of all ages with its fantastical adventures and mysteries.

Harry Potter is maybe the biggest, but names like Percy Jackson and the Olympians and Maximum Ride also come up, all pillars of early 2000s children’s literature that imbued millions of kids’ lives with a sense of wonder and magic. There are a handful of titles that come to mind when millennials name the books that shaped their childhoods.
