CSI Files previously reported that TOKYOPOP released a graphic novel called CSI: Intern At Your Own Risk. The story, which is set in the world of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, follows CSI intern Kiyomi Hudson as she and several other interns try to solve the murder of a peer. “Critically, the manga has been received well,” TOKYOPOP’s Associate Publisher Marco Pavia said of the release.

“[W]e also created a cool digital product, more like a movie trailer, that has been getting a ton of buzz, especially with our Japanese licensing partners,” Pavia added. “Sales have been slow, to be honest, but it just came out a few months ago. I know we want instant gratification, and I’m patient to see it find its audience before planning another volume.”

Stuart M Kaminsky, who may be familiar to fans of CSI: New York as the author of three tie-in novels (Dead of Winter, Blood on the Sun and Deluge), died last Friday, October 9. The 75-year-old author passed away due to complications from hepatitis and a stroke he suffered recently.

Kaminsky contracted hepatitis while serving as an army medic in France in the 1950s. He and his wife, Enid, moved to St Louis, Missouri to await a liver transplant in March; however, the author suffered a stroke two days after their arrival, which made him ineligible for the transplant.

Kaminsky is survived by his wife, his daughters Natasha and Lucy, his sons Peter and Toby, and three grandchildren.
