Lady Baltimore and Medusa’s daughter It is the latest chapter in appearance, the ongoing legend Mike Mignola and Christopher King Myths and monsters. The series is drawn again Bridget Cornellwhile fighting against evil mysterious forces during World War II, records the adventures of Sofia Valk. The first two Baltimore ladies entries (The Witch Queen and Icros’s Dream) Allows Connell to show off his skills to bring muddy horror adventures to life. Connell quickly established herself as a talent for watching these series, especially in how she took the opportunity to build a look and feel. Beat Corresponding to Connell, reaching her creative process, may also hint at the future of Mrs. Baltimore.
D. Morris: It has been a while since the last period Lady Baltimore The series “Witch Queen” and last year’s “Icross’ Dream”. How does it feel to go back to the characters and world introduced in the first series?
Bridgit Connell: I’m a fan of Sofia Baltimore and her story and more importantly, I’m a fan of working with this team. Honestly, I feel like I’ve gotten rid of something. Play with characters, monsters, settings and legends in sync with a team with characters, monsters, settings and knowledge… Are you kidding me? I managed to slip myself into one of the best comic show ever – don’t laugh at me!
Morris: Can you talk about the process of working with Christopher Golden and Mike Mignola?
Cornell: Chris and I always have pre-emptive parties before the script, just to meet, shoot shit, and learn about the project on the same page. He bounced the thoughts from me, I usually just couldn’t see them, like I got secret sc on some of my favorite characters. For this particular doubles, he asked what I wanted to draw, and when I said “Gorgon” he almost immediately wrote this absolutely beautiful script for us to do. He was crazy. To be honest, these two arcs are my favorite projects I have never done before. (I promise, I’m not saying it lightly.) I can’t say anything about the story topics, and I don’t want to spoil them. So I will leave.
One of my favorite experiences in this series is learning a little bit about how Mike’s thoughts work in his world and the monsters in it. Being a Mike fan for a long time, any small amount of process I could peek at was so enjoyable. And Mike is Ben Stenbeck and Peter Bodingwhich has built the overall atmosphere of the world, I want to have emotional connections to characters, driving their emotional connections, what makes them angry… Chris is very good at writing in-depth character connections. Performance is my favorite thing to draw, and I think that’s why I’ve got such a good connection to Chris’ script. I want a heartbeat from page to page.
Morris: One of the most eye-catching things about this collection is your pencil and Michelle Madsen’s colors. Can you talk about how you two come together and how you can closely grasp the visuals of the series?
Cornell: Thank you! It was a great honor to work with Michelle on these books. The only real notes I gave her for these two books were related to some new characters and monster designs, she still I was surprised that we had some bright colors in this story that surprised me. She also nailed the room’s lighting and space drama well. As I restored my colors, I stared at some of the landscape we did – she did a lot of work in bringing this kind of thing into life. Whenever there is a magic book in one of our books, she is really crazy. It’s always exciting to restore the color and see her mind work.
Morris: You’ve already drawn Joe Golem and Cojacaru in previous stories, but there are other characters outside, are you still eager to draw?
Cornell: I will like Once again drawing Cojacaru, she’s such a bad guy. That armor killed me, it was so nice. My favorite comic arc features Ben Stenbeck’s art, in the original Baltimore, involving character judge Duvic. (Just on my desk, I have a page for “Wolf and Apostles.”) Duvech is such a damn villain, and honestly, I think abuse of power will be an interesting element to bring today’s climate. (Not about World War II and killing the Nazis Political or anything else. So dead. I assume. So I don’t think that will happen. But he is a good villain from man to cursed man to desperate man to monster.
Also, when it comes to these comics, Ben Stenbeck has this atheistic Baltimore fighting style, and I fell in love with reading comics, which is something I’m trying to bring into this book. When Baltimore was in the fight, he always attracted him in this unwrapped original way, usually in comics, I felt like I was keeping it to the villain-his eyes with white and his eyes gritting, clenching his sword in the air. But it is indeed a green-free view of survival, fighting for everything you have, and I want to give it to Sofia too. (I think sometimes, especially with female heroes, there is a concern that makes them look attractive when fighting, or put them in a nice pose when fighting, which I refuse to do.) Not only did she learn from Baltimore and travel with him, she was also full of passion and life for her character. Baltimore’s strength comes with sadness and revenge, and I want to give Sofia the same strength…but her heart is not a tin can, it is flesh, blood and thump.
Morris: I noticed that you may be a fan of Werewolf. How difficult is your petition werewolf in the future story?
Cornell: Dud, I tell you, Judge Duvech. Will scare love him. I don’t think this is in the card. He is dead. I tried to raise Chris like a dog soldier. He was very polite about it, but I don’t think it happened. The real conversation, I think that will disappear from the previous story – how lonely the curse is, I think it will spread the situations of how he gets, and I don’t want to do anything to reduce the appearance of the previous story – will only enhance them. However, you can’t hate a girl trying to bring in some werewolf.
Morris: Can you hint at the plans for the future Mrs. Baltimore story?
Cornell: I would say that after “Medusa’s Daughter”, one or two stories have probably been planned. What can I say about what they are? Besides the fans I think that both love the original Baltimore fans and those who end up loving her and her new staff, but I think there is the same reward.
Lady Baltimore and the daughter of Medusa Issue 1 were released on May 7 in the comic shop of Dark Horse Comics.
