This week on Creannotators, I talked with artist Leila Del Duca about Wonder Woman: Tempest Tossed, her creator-owned work like Shutter and Afar, and the process of working on a DC graphic novel compared to monthly ongoing comics.

On Comic Book Herald’s ‘Creannotators’ I’ll be interviewing some of my favorite creators in comics about specific runs, graphic novels or series, looking for their insights on the inspirations behind the work and ideas or hidden material readers may have missed.
