A dozen or so years ago, I had two comic book biographies published, and wrote a third, and for whatever reason, that third script was never published…until this Wednesday!
The request was simple: write a Dr. Seuss comic. I crafted a rhyming biography of Seuss, a deep dive into his career, not just his famous books but his creative origins, a complete look at the man who was so easy to overlook behind all the silly creatures and abstract storytelling, the icon behind the icons…
When it went nowhere I honestly thought I had misunderstood the assignment. Was I meant to tell a new story in his style? I had a concept up my sleeve, the Goat in the Tote, that showed up later in my works. Last year I found out it was happening completely by random, just searching around Google. It was a very welcome surprise.
I've had mine on preorder for some time now and am excited and interested to check it out!
ReplyDeleteI’ll get my copy in the mail next week. From what I’ve seen the art looks pretty fantastic.
