Interview: Kelly Knievel and Rylend Grant - The Last Gladiator Kickstarter

1. Kelly, as Evel Knievel’s son and brand manager, what does it mean to you to see your father’s legacy brought to life in his first-ever full-length comic series?

2. Rylend, what drew you to Evel Knievel as a character for a comic, and how did you approach blending historical fact with fictional storytelling?

3. The series is set during the lead-up to the Caesars Palace fountain jump. How did you decide which real-life events to keep and which moments to fictionalize?

4. For readers who may not be familiar with Evel beyond the stunts, what do you hope The Last Gladiator will teach them about who he was as a person?

5. The comic promises high-octane action and a modern-day Western feel. Can you walk us through the visual and narrative choices that give the series that unique tone?

6. Evel Knievel has inspired movies, documentaries, and countless imitators. What makes comics the right medium to tell this particular story?

7. (Fun) If Evel Knievel were still at it today, what stunt do you think he’d attempt just to outdo himself — and how would you put it in the comic?
