Interview: John Harris Dunning Summer Shadows #1 out Sept 11, art by Ricardo Cabral

1. John, thank you for guesting on the AIPT comics podcast! To start, Summer Shadows is out September 11 …last time you were on we were talking about your graphic novel Wiper, what made Summer Shadows better as a 4-issue series?
2. What are some of your favorite vampire stories, be it comics, books, or movies?
3. I understand the setting is Greece, a place you visit often, can readers expect the locale to be a “character” as some say?
4. The title is interesting…a play on Dark Shadows?
5. You’re working with Ricardo Cabral again, did you two start on this right after Wiper or was there a gap?
6. I love the yacht scene in this series, it’s so evil looking. What is it about yachts make them so evil?
7. If Summer Shadows was a song, what would it be and why?
   1. Summer time sadness lana del rey
8. Anything else you’d like to plug today?
