It wouldn't
have to be a disgusting mess. What if they kept it a strictly R-rated adult cartoon and maybe employed the same people who made "The MAXX"?

Hey, I've started to like "Let Me In"! Abby & Owen have grown on me. All that is necessary to make Abby likable is to make up a suitable explanation for why she never turned Thomas.

Even if made by highly skilled artists, it would have to add stuff not in the LTROI story that would profoundly change the world in which O&E lives, and the reason why they live. Stuff like other vampires that O&E would fight, etc. Again, again, and again, until the original characters of O&E are transformed into some uninteresting superheroes, going from one issue and one set of constructed threats to the next. Otherwise nobody would purchase the comic.

You asked for the original book cover, so here it is. Neat or what?

I know the story would be diluted. But I just want more E&O. More, MORE,
MORE! Why can't I have more?

That is how I got my copy of the Swedish LTODD.
I sent them an email. If they don't respond I'll try making an international call

I keep the Once Bitten PDF on my home & work computers. I think of it as the book sequel of the movie.
But like a heroine addict or a Wall Street banker, I still want

Me, too. That's why I write my own stuff. When I found that re-reading and re-watching LTROI stopped working, I started to write. Works very well, the process is slow, and doesn't necessarily end.
