Author F. Paul Wilson has always been vitriolic regarding the 1983 film version of his novel. “Visually intriguing, but otherwise utterly incomprehensible” is one of his more sedate quotes. Michael Mann’s adaptation of the 1981 bestseller is a curiosity in itself, which I will not discuss at great length here. Suffice to say that I may write an extended piece on its troubled history and many versions, at some point in the future. In 2006 F. Paul Wilson scripted a graphic novel version of his book with artwork drawn by Matthew Dow Smith, of Hellboy fame. In the foreword F. Paul Wilson states “I consider this visual presentation of The Keep my version of the movie, what could have been... what should have been.”
