200702051237 Erin Hunter at TokyopopTokyopop and Harper Collins are teaming on a new manga series based on the bestselling fantasy books by Erin Hunter: KITTY!!!

TOKYOPOP, the leader of the Global Manga Revolution and HarperCollins Publishers, one of the top English-language publishers in the world, are pleased to announce the May 2007 release of Warriors: The Lost Warrior, the first graphic novel series to be launched under the two companies’ recently announced innovative co-publishing deal.

Drawn from Erin Hunter’s #1 nationally best-selling Warriors books, The Lost Warrior features a very special note from the author to Warriors fans. Warriors: The Lost Warrior manga series, created by Dan Jolley and James Barry, tells the untold tale of the feline hero Graystripe: his life with humans and his ultimate quest to be reunited with his clan. Graystripe’s story in the manga series bridges the gap between Hunter’s “The New Prophecy” and the next installment of the Warriors novel series “Power of Three.”

As Erin Hunter writes to Warriors fans: “Manga brings out the best in Graystripe. The drawings are so powerful and so direct. Alongside the punchy dialogue, they speak volumes. I love them, and I am so proud of the all-new action Graystripe. Well done, Graystripe! Well done, manga!”

In a word from TOKYOPOP Publisher Mike Kiley, “It is truly an honor to bring such a wonderful children’s series to manga form. Dan Jolley and James Barry have reveled in the Warriors universe I think the end result does this very special story proud.”

The Lost Warrior is the first of a trilogy. The second book will release in December 2007.

    everybody keeps saying a warriors movie wont happen but how can it not happen, it is a popular book series, it would probobly be 3D or animation(which people have done alot), and it would make alot of money. so why wont they make a warriors movie, WHYYYYYYYYYYYY!

    p.s hi pple

    i love these books!

    and i read somewhere (i forgot where) and Hunter had said that she wont, or cant, make the series into movies because theyre… basically just too dark
    i mean, can you see all this killing and violence in a cartoon? i can but its kinda weird..

    Silly people. There’s going to be a movie whether you like it or not! They’re saying the movie will come out 2010-2012. It will have realistic looking cats! Check Wikapedia, it’s there. Type in “Warriors (novel series)”.
