Hi! I'm new here, and I was wondering if anyone would know the answer to this:
I sold a short story (prose) a while back, and I no longer own the rights to it. But I liked the story, and I think it would work better as a comic, and I'd like to turn it into one (I'd draw it myself) and then take the narrative even further. So, how does that work? Should I try to get permission from the editor? What if she never gets back to me, or the magazine goes under?
(I thought maybe comic book intellectual property law would be sort of specialized knowledge, which is why I stuck this in this forum. I hope I was not mistaken!)
