We'll never see novel serialisations or anything like that as the estate would be bringing out the solicitors. Can you imagine them ever allowing Tolkien's text to be diluted and dumbed down like that? But I would not rule out estate-approved graphic novel versions as there has already been a high quality graphic novel of The Hobbit, and adult graphic novels are now of superb quality with all the great artists and writers around. I'd certainly buy a decent one - say one illustrated by Charles Vess.
