Can’t Stop Talking About Comics
Or, at least, people keep asking my opinions about them. Which I tremendously appreciate.
After my first two professional interviews ever ran in the last couple of months, I’ve been lucky enough to have been asked for my opinions three times recently, twice by Indy Comic News and once by the fascinating project ComicsCareer.com.
Indy Comic News is a site about pretty much exactly what it sounds like and is run by the very nice Wesley Green. ComicsCareer is a site that’s trying to run a new interview every day with comics creators of all levels - super famous and beginners like myself - asking them the same 10 questions about how they got started and how they work. Neat idea!
Here are the links:
- From The Soapbox: What Does Diamond’s New Policies Mean To You? - IndyComicNews (my response is at the bottom)
- Feature: 2009 Creator Interview Questions With Sam Costello, Writer of Split Lip Web Comic - IndyComicNews

Sneak Preview: Wreck of the Old 97
Later this year, I have two short comics appearing in an anthology called Work. Work is a collection of adaptations of old folk songs - and some new songs, too - about work and jobs and the union and all kinds of other good stuff. If you’ve checked out Split Lip, you know that I love old-time music and have adapted songs and folk tales into at least four Split Lip stories.
For Work, I’ve written a story inspired by the Billy Bragg song “To Have and To Have Not” and an adaptation of the train-disaster song “Wreck of the Old 97.”
