Salman Rushdie to pen graphic novel?

Author Salman Rushdie is planning to move on from magical realism and historical fiction to pen a graphic novel.

"Recently I got asked if I'd like to write a graphic novel. When I was a kid I was a real comic book nut and I can tell you a lot about superheroes," Contactmusic quoted him as saying.

Meanwhile, recent reports suggest that he is dating stunning author Min Lieskovsky after parting ways with Pia Glenn. It was reported that the 62-year-old was seen attending the Norman Mailer Writers' Colony Gala with Lieskovsky on his arm.
