Dale and I chat to Byron Brewer for Dynamic Forces about being authorial co-pilots, 80’s horror, and how they have gotten to know the characters in our Vertigo horror comic, Survivors’ Club. Dynamic Forces: Dale, the basic premise of Survivors’ Club comes from an idea of yours. Tell us about that notion and are you a horror […]
Dale and I chatted about going meta in Survivors’ Club at the New York Comic Con this past October. Besides looking swanky on the red carpet we chat about being co-pilots, Child’s Play, and general eighties aesthetics. We’re launching the collected trade paperback this week at The Book Lounge.

AC: Each of these characters represents an archetype in horror—how did you decide […]
Dale and I had an interesting chat with Zac Thompson of Bloody Disgusting about Survivors’ Club, 80’s horror tropes, and our amazing illustrator and co-creator, Ryan Kelly.
