Erik Salholm has just posted up an interview with a solid favourite creator of ours, Mister Paul Grist, mostly discussing his new project The Eternal Warrior (an if you missed it you can also catch Matt Badham’s interview with Paul last year here on the blog):
“The storytelling in The Eternal Warrior is different to what I’ve done in previous comics (Kane and Jack Staff), where I’ve tended to use the page as a single unit. With Eternal Warrior I’m trying to speed up the production process and I’m using double pages as a single unit, so what I might have got on a single page previously, is spread over two. This gives more space to the layouts. What I’m doing is trying to get away from a traditional approach to the comic page – so not using the usual panel boxes, but trying to let the pictures define the shape and layout on the page.”
