Here's a new Vaneta Rogers interview on Newsarama with writer Victor Quinaz about his upcoming graphic novel collaboration with Before The Door and Archaia called "MR. MURDER IS DEAD".
 Excerpt: As Gould begins to investigate a murder, the reader will see flashbacks, but they will be told through the comic strip. "The flashbacks will all be told through the point of view of the fictional character -- the meta-fictional character of The Spook, which is this long-running comic book character, since the 1950s, that was based on Gould Kane in his hey-day, when he was catching crooks and garnering the favor of the public," Quinaz said. "We have flashbacks that reflect different time periods in his life. So the '50s will have that real comic strip look, and then in the '60s, you'll start seeing mutton chops and a little more grit. The '70s will dive more into shadow, and the '80s will really get dark until finally, the '90s will be almost be an interpretation of the former Spook," he said. |
