This week on Creannotators, I talked with writer and artist Rob Guillory about Farmhand, adapting comics for TV, lessons from Chew, and plans for adapting to the future of 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. Creannotators is an audio/visual annotative guide to enjoying the intricacies and thinking in the art. Thanks for listening, and enjoy the comics!
