Resumen

In this work, the adaptation from literature into comic is studied taking the spe-cific case of Troll Bridge (a short story by Neil Gaiman that Colleen Doran has illustrated more than twenty years after the publication of the former) as a point of departure. In the first place, the fact of adaptation is contextualized as part of a socioeconomic framework in which both works (the adapted and the adaptation) feed each other. Special emphasis is put, however, on differentiating the features of one medium and those of the other even when the comic by Doran entirely translates the original text by Gaiman. In the second place, consideration is given to the intersemiotic characteristics that derive from thee adaptation, in order to examine the transposition of the different elements from one medium into the other. In this way, special attention is paid to the juxtaposition of word and image, to metaphor and, mainly, to the transmission of emotions in the frame of an allegorical fable. As a conclusion, it is argued that an absolute semiotic change is inviable insomuch as they are two different media, although the constituents of the fiction (story, characters, settings) are essentially the same.
