This week on Creannotators, I talked with writer Stephanie Phillips about The Butcher of Paris, and the complexities of writing both historical fiction and true crime.

On Comic Book Herald’s ‘Creannotators’ I’ll be interviewing some of my favorite creators in comics about specific runs, graphic novels or series, looking for their insights on the inspirations behind the work and ideas or hidden material readers may have missed. Creannotators is an audio/visual annotative guide to enjoying the intricacies and thinking in the art. Thanks for listening, and enjoy the comics!

The Butcher of Paris is based on the true story of Marcel Petoit, a serial killer active during World War II in German occupied France, masquerading as a member of the resistance and targeting Jewish citizens seeking refuge. It’s a harrowing account of one of history’s greatest monsters, and the historical context that allowed for his reign of terror.
