15 Questions For The Creator: JOSHUA WILLIAMSON

Joshua Williamson has been in the industry for several years now, providing a mix of well-received creator-owned work (Dear Dracula, Xenoholics) alongside some dabblings in the realm of mainstream superheroics (Captain Midnight, Voodoo). It was in 2014 that he began taking things to the next level, establishing himself as a creative force to be reckoned with thanks to three specific titles that made an immediate impact on the scene: Ghosted, Nailbiter and Birthright. This was enough to earn him the ‘prestigious’ award for Most Promising Talent at last year’s Paradoscars, a richly deserved win, and provided the PCG with enough leverage to pry Josh away from his enormously busy schedule to answer our standard set of questions…

15 Questions For The Creator: MATT HAWKINS

Matt Hawkins currently holds the position of President/Chief Operating Officer at Top Cow Productions, the company behind comic book series like The Darkness, Witchblade and Cyber Force.

15 Questions For The Creator: MIKE RAICHT

Mike Raicht is a busy man. After getting his big break at Marvel he went on to work on a number of titles for them as well as a variety of other publishers including Dynamite and IDW. Recently he’s been writing Dark Shadows for Dynamite, an adaptation of Cassandra Clare’s best-selling novel, The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones for Th3rd World Studios, as well as prepping his Kickstarter project, Wild Blue Yonder. Arguably though he’s really made his indelible mark in the comics world as co-writer of the sublime The Stuff Of Legend from Th3rd World Studios. A dark fairy tale in which a group of toys venture through the closet into the Boogeyman's realm to rescue their young owner, it's been showered with praise across the board for its ability to enrapture readers of all ages and has recently received some significant interest from Hollywood. Fortunately Mike isn’t too busy that he didn’t have the time to agree to take part in the inaugural instalment of our 15 Questions For The Creator feature…
