Coraline graphic novel

Ariel over at the Alien Online tips us off to news which emerged at London-based event with Neil Gaiman (currently doing a UK tour for Anansi Boys) when Neil confirmed rumours that his extremely cool 'children's' novel Coraline was going to be adapted into a graphic novel by no less a luminary than P Craig Russell. Russell, of course, worked with Neil on the ravishing Arabian Nights-style Ramadan tale for the Sandman 50th issue special (to be found in the Fables and Reflections volume - one of the most gorgeous comics I've ever read). How wonderfully creepy will he make the button-eyed other mother from Coraline?
