Podcast interview

Posted by jasonmcnamara on March 27, 2008

I was recently interviewed by Tim at Deconstructing Comics. We had a rollicking conversation about the Martian Confederacy, my previous books, the state of independent comic books and a why Spider-Man will probably never get caught in a mens room with George Michaels. Listen in!

Original art from Mars

Jason and I (pictured here at Wondercon) have been working on the Martian Confederacy for over a year now… I had various art projects (Jane’s World) that slowed down the art production process. I take full responsibility for the slow down… BUT I wanted to start posting some of the original scanned art on our blog. I don’t want to give away spoilers for the book so certain pages I can’t show… also, the final book will be in color (Brian Miller is currently working on that). So this book is really a team effort. It’s been a real change for me working with a writer, but it’s been a terrific experience and I can’t wait to start on The Martian Confederacy Vol. 2!

Enjoy these first art postings… more to come…

First up… opening sequences of the book.
