Some bestselling authors are doing just that! Jodi Picoult has started writing Wonder Woman, Brad Meltzer has written JLA. Several other writers have started in comics and gone on to novels, such as the aforementioned Gaiman, Peter David, and Chris Claremont. And some have even come from TV and Film to write comics, such as Kevin Smith, Joss Whedon, and Jeph Loeb.<br><b>References : </b><br> Absolutely! Some bestselling authors are doing just that!
