Igort reveals that the idea comes from Elisabetta Sgarbi, the executive director of the publishing house La nave di Teseo, which has published the latest version of the novel “The Name of the Rose”, featuring the author’s sketches and preparatory notes. Three and a half decades after the legendary film adaptation directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud, the novel is to get its comic book version, and this great piece of news was announced by Igort, a comics artist and editor of the Linus magazine, whose January issue is dedicated to Eco, who would have celebrated his 90th birthday on January 5. One of the hundred most important books of the century behind us (according to the prestigious French daily Le Monde), Umberto Eco’s bestseller “The Name of the Rose”, is entering the world of the ninth art – with none other than the famous Milo Manara to transfer the novel into a comic book.
