This is a very special episode for a number of reasons. I'm a huge Greg Pak fan so it was wonderful to finally have him on the podcast, but my brother Bobby, the Cryptid Creator Corner's number one most dedicated fan, is a Greg Pak superfan and I start the episode by reading Greg a message from Bobby. Greg and I then get into discussing his new series from Boom Studios LAWFUL out June 12th. LAWFUL is about a world where every time you break the law, your physical appearance is slowly changed into something monstrous. The story centers on two friends: Sung and Eris.

Greg and I really dig into this story to discuss its themes and implications. Greg also gets to gush about working with his collaborators Diego Galindo, Irma Kniivila, and Simon Bowland. We chat about world-building, anxiety, and doing bad things to good characters.  

We also get to chat about the Dynamite series LILO & STITCH. Issue #4 just dropped on June 5th. Greg is working with artist Giulia Giacomino. The series has been stellar so far, capturing well the voice & tone of both main characters. We chat a bit about how this opportunity came about and why Greg was excited to write this series. It's a really lovely conversation you do not want to miss.
