Shortboxed was lucky enough to catch Brian K. Vaughan during a lull as he was doing a signing at Isotope Comics in San Francisco. We didn’t get him to ourselves for long, but we made sure to ask him a few questions. Check out our (brief) interview with one of the nicest dudes we’ve met, and writer of some of our favorite comic series of all time.
We were lucky enough to talk to Wes Craig, artist of one of our Top Ten comics of the year: Deadly Class. After we got done squealing with the glee of a demon-child, we asked Wes to give us a few quick and dirty answers about how he got his start, and of course – which comics make it into his shortbox.
Cory Matthews (yeah, he knows he shares the name with the late 90’s/early 00’s derpy, curly-headed, Topanga-chasing lothario) is the creator of TnC Comics. Cory has written nearly 50 strips to date, with Eryck Webb illustrating. Cory has also launched a successful Kickstarter campaign so he can continue working on his passion project, and documenting his family history in a unique way. We talk with Cory about running a successful Kickstarter campaign, writing about his family and discovering his audience.
We first met Madeleine Holly-Rosing at the Alternative Press Expo in San Francisco. The Shortboxed staff is, perhaps unsurprisingly, enamored with steampunk. Madeleine’s pitch was “Steampunk meets X-Files” – say no more, we were hooked. We also wanted to get to know Madeleine more, and share that knowledge with Shortboxed readers.
Shortboxed was able to snag some time from Eisner Award-nominated, New York Times Bestselling author Cullen Bunn. Bunn has worked on numerous titles of characters you might be familiar with: Magneto, Captain America, Superman, Wolverine, Deadpool, Spider-Man, to name just a few. Bunn also is writing several acclaimed non-superhero projects, notably – The Sixth Gun. We pick Cullen’s brain in this week’s Industry Interview (which is what we’re calling this now).
Shing Yin Khor, comic creator, publisher and artist of many mediums (sculptor, art installations, Burning Man post apocalyptic haunted outposts), describes her work “I sculpt and write awkward, charming, and awkwardly charming creatures trapped in a world of bumbling science, human fallibility and heroic futility.
