Paul Tobin and Colleen Coover on Bandette

Creator Talks proudly presents the husband and wife team of writer Paul Tobin and artist Colleen Coover. Together they created the costumed teen cat burglar Bandette. Bandette began as a digital publication in 2012 on Comixology through Monkeybrain Comics. It was nominated for four Eisner’s Awards in 2013. Not long after, Dark Horse Comics collected the single issues into soft and hard cover editions. The next Bandette hard cover collection will be released by Dark Horse Comics on July 7th 2021 is Volume 4: The Six Finger Secret. I discuss with Colleen how she illustrates Bandette and the reason for her bold primary color choices. It would not be Creator Talks if I did not get personal with my guests so I ask the happy couple how they met. Did Cupid’s arrow strike and was it love at first sight? Paul and Colleen once managed a comic book store in Iowa. Paul shares how he managed to build his comic book collection while he worked there as an employee and how comic shops have changed since the 1980s. He is also an avid comic art collector. Paul talks about some of his favorite pieces of art and why he considers himself lucky to have them. What is it about these artists’ work that appeals to Paul? Which ones tuned him off as a youth but now from whom he has great admiration. His answers may surprise you. How has collecting art become an education itself for Paul and Colleen as creators? Paul and Colleen made several trips to France, which is the setting of Bandette’s adventures. They share some of their special memories of France and later their decision to move from Iowa to Portland, Oregon for the sake of their careers. In closing I ask Paul and Colleen my Final Nine Questions including what they like to do for recreation, beverage of choice, pet peeve, missed opportunities and when they took a risk.

Twelve super heroine contestants must fight for his affection. Samuel shares which show inspired The S-Factor as well as his own personal experience taking part in a reality TV show.

Ibrahim Mustafa - Count

Ibrahim Mustafa joins Creator Talks to discuss his latest graphic novel Count being published through Humanoids. This sci-fi revenge story is based on the Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas. The original is not the swashbuckling tale those who have not read it may think it is. Why did Ibrahim decide to make this story the foundation for his graphic novel? Why does the coloring and lettering fit so well with Ibrahim’s art style? And why is this graphic novel more satisfying for Ibrahim than a comic series or fill-in issue he has drawn? Growing up Ibrahim’s favorite superhero was Superman, and he talks about how seeing Alex Ross’ Man of Steel influenced his own art style. Ibrahim reveals his favorite to comic art tutorial books, and why he has decided not to launch a how-to YouTube Channel. We also talk about his work on James Bond: Origin and Solstice for Dynamite comics, and why he thinks Timothy Dalton is the best James Bond. Why does Ibrahim think Dalton’s James Bond was initially unjustly maligned by audiences but grew to be more appreciated as Agent 007. We touch upon his 2017 Eisner Nominated digital comic Jaeger, the story of a World War II allied spy bent on revenge against his Nazi captors. The book is only available in print from Ibrahim’s website. Ibrahim is also the Art Director for Colorcubic, consulting on job ranging from art designs to video games. What has been his greatest challenge working as Art Director? I conclude our interview with my Final 9 Questions, in which we learn about his hobby of making amazing custom action figures, his favorite once-in-a-lifetime birthday experience, and one of his pet peeves that involves smartphones.

Garth Ennis on The Tankies

This episode is being released on Memorial Day. In honor all service men and women who gave their lives in defense of their country, I am very pleased to welcome my special guest writer Garth Ennis. Garth Ennis’ body of work includes Judge Dredd stories for 2000 AD, The Punisher and Hitman. His comic book series Preacher and The Boys were both adapted for television. He has been an avid reader of military comics and history since a young age. He has written several war-based comics including Battlefields, Johnny Red, War Stories, and Dreaming Eagles. His latest collection now available is The Tankies. The book is published through Dead Reckoning which is an imprint of The Navel Institute Press. The Tankies is the story of British armored forces that fought during World War II and Koren War. The connection among the three stories contained within this graphic novel is the British tank crews lead by Corporal Stiles. Many of the sequences in the book were taken from actual historical events. I ask Garth why both the British and American tanks were at a disadvantage against the German King Tiger Tanks. Why were tanks crews prohibited from clearing out tanks that fell in battle? I discuss with Garth his favorite Battle comics he grew up reading and as a professional getting the chance to work with one of his favorite artists, Carlos Ezquerra. The co-creator of Judge Dread and Strontium Dog, Carlos also penciled the gritty art for The Tankies. Carols Ezquerra died in 2018. Garth shares his memories of Carols and the special contribution his art style made to The Tankies. I conclude my interview asking Garth my Final 9 Questions including about that missed opportunity and the time he took a risk.

Pornsak Pichetshote's 1930s Noir: The Good Asian

Christopher welcomes returning guest Pornsak Pichetshote, the award-winning author of the Infidel (Image Comics). Pornsak's sophomore comic effort The Good Asian is a nine-part series being published through Image Comics. The creative team consists of Alexander Tefenkgi on interior art, color by Lee Loughridge and lettering by Jeff Powell. The first issue goes on sale May 5th. The Good Asian is an noir mystery set in 1936 Chinatown featuring Edison Hark a Chinese-American detective from Hawaii and the first generation of Chinese Americans to come of age under an immigration ban. We discuss the real life influence behind the character Edison Hark, Hawaiian Detective Chang Apana who influenced the silver screen portrayal of Charlie Chan. Today, Charlie Chan movies are considered racist because of its use of Asians sterotypes. I ask Pornsake about the current cancel culture and its impact on books and movies. Should Charlie Chan movies, or any racist material, be erased from history? Pornsake has taken great care to get the historical details of the period correct working with historical consultant Grant Din. We discuss the historical background of the story including the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, processing of Chinese immigrants through San Francisco's Angel Island and the formation of Paper Sons. As we conclude our interview, I ask Pornsake about his guilty pleasure, a missed opportunity and when he took a risk.

Laszlo Tamasfi on the lost silent film Dracula's Death

Returning guest Laszlo Tamasfi discusses his new book, an English translation of the screenplay of and related articles about Dracula's Death. It is the first motion picture to feature the character Dracula. This Hungarian silent film made in 1921 does not adhere to Bram Stoker's novel Dracula. It was an original story about a young woman, who encounters the famous vampire during her stay at a mental asylum. The film is long lost but a prose adaptation was published in 1924 that Laszlo has translated. Learn how national record keeping rules made it possible for the script to survive, and how Laszlo undertook his research and translation of the book. The book is published through Strangers From Nowhere and contains new illustrations by Jozsef Svab. I discuss with Lazlo the reason why he decide to self-publish Dracula's Death though his own imprint rather than secure a publisher to do all of the heavy lifting involved in book's editing, printing, distribution, and promotion. What are the benefits of working through a publisher, and what compromises must be made for a book to be printed? How hard should a book's creator push back against changes required by the publisher? We discuss these questions and more.
