David Dabel will spearhead a new line of young adult graphic novels under the imprint Sea Lion Books, to be distributed by HarperCollins.
CBR reports that the former Dabel Brothers founder revealed the first three graphic novel adaptations for the line at the American Library Association’s annual Drink and Draw event.

The first novel, an adaptation of Paulo Coelho’s modern classic The Alchemist, will be written by Derek Ruiz and be released in November.

Following this will be Storm Born, written by Richelle Meade, and a third as-yet-untitled novel written by Lesley Banks, best known for her Vampire Huntress Legends series.

Dabel Brothers Publishing is probably best known for its Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter series, which is currently licensed through Marvel Comics.
