Exclusive Interview: “Raymond Chandler’s Trouble Is My Business” Writer Arvind Ethan David

 

Detective Philip Marlowe is one of the most iconic noir characters in both film and literature, the former of which has seen him played by everyone from Humphrey Bogart and Robert Mitchum to Liam Neeson.

Now Marlow is coming to a different visual medium in Raymond Chandler’s Trouble Is My Business (hardcover, Kindle), a graphic novel adaptation of Chandler’s 1950 novella.

In the following email interview, writer Arvind Ethan David — who worked with illustrator Ilias Kyriazis and colorist Cris Peters to adapt Business — talks about how this adaptation came to be, how its structure differs slightly from Chandler’s original novella, as well as his plans to adapt some of Marlowe’s other iconic cases.
