This week in Episode #693, Wayne talks with Stephan Franck, an acclaimed cartoonist and award-nominated animator, writer, and director! He has a Kickstarter underway for both Romance in the Age of the Space God and Palomino!
Stephan is quite the accomplished creator, and his Kickstarter is for his stand-alone graphic novella called Romance in the Age of the Space God and his Ringo-Award nominated crime mystery Palomino. Here’s how both are described: “Part Sci-fi thriller, part slice-of-life, and part political satire, Romance in the Age of the Space God drops us into a world not unlike ours, where things once thought impossible have happened. Also, a captivating neo-noir crime mystery, Palomino begins in 1981 Los Angeles, where we meet Eddie Lang, an old-school, hardboiled former Burbank PD detective juggling his six-nights-a-week gig in the Palomino house band, his P.I. business, and his teenage daughter--who might even be more hardboiled than he is!” We explore both creations, who the various characters are, how these stories came to be, and also talk about an important project I’m particularly fond of that Stephan helped bring to the big screen. Be sure to back this excellent comics project before it concludes on Monday, June 6, at 2:59 a.m. EDT.
