I Walk with Monsters #1

[laughing_tree]

This is a hugely important project for me, both in terms of how personal it is, and how much of a comeback to comics it is. It’s the story of a young woman and her friend who can be a monster, going hunting. I think it’s my best work in the medium, my attempt to create horror that comes from a real place, with lots of heart and character. -- Paul Cornell

King-Size Conan #1 - "In the City of Thieves"

[laughing_tree]

Conan is built around the idea that Conan is the incorruptible, uncivilized man, dealing with a society that is in decay, it’s corrupted, and the leaders of that society abuse and manipulate the people they have power over. It’s very much a metaphor for distrust of the government during the Great Depression, which is when the character was created. But it also worked in the anti-Vietnam ’60s when Conan became popular in paperback, in the Watergate ’70s, which is when it became popular in comics, and you can see why it would be popular in the last couple of years–it’s a very versatile metaphor. -- Kurt Busiek
