Article on Dark Horse Originals

Dark Horse Comics

Dark Horse have posted a nice article on their ‘Dark Horse Originals’ imprint.

“At the core of our current, Dark Horse Originals–focused “Genius Redefining Genre” campaign are creators Peter Bagge, Gilbert Hernandez, and Matt Kindt—and their new comic-book series Reset, Fatima: The Blood Spinners, and MIND MGMT. With these sizzling monthlies, all launching in consecutive months this spring, Gilbert and Peter are treading on familiar, beloved “pamphlet paths,” having worked extensively—over about three decades—with both stapled magazine formats and stapled comic-book formats. Matt Kindt is getting to play in an entirely new arena, though, and it’s obvious that he’s excited about it. He’s cramming some fun features into his comic pages, including some bonus treats that are comic-book exclusives and will not be duplicated in the eventual trade collection.”

Pete’s ‘Bagge’ of tricks!

Dark Horse Comics

Peter Bagge, cartoonist and creator of Buddy Bradley, Hate, Neat Stuff, Martini Baton, Sweatshop, Apocalypse Nerd and Other Lives has a new series called Reset debuting with Dark Horse this week, and he has shared a little of his writing process…

“…I used to do everything by hand, including writing out all my outlines and script in longhand on yellow legal paper…It HURTS to write in longhand now! So odd, since I used to scribble away relentlessly, keeping up correspondences only fifteen years ago without it ever feeling like a physical burden. Has anyone else noticed this?”
