Martyn Pedler over interviewed myself and Box Brown about self-publishing over at Bookslut the other day! Check it out!
“Wolves” possesses an economy that makes it feel substantial rather than like shorthand. Telling a werewolf story means Cloonan doesn’t have to explain the genre rules that seeped into popular culture long ago; the black, white, and gray art uses simple techniques to quickly show shifting time; it’s full of fantastic close-ups of eyes — human and otherwise — that make narration unnecessary. The story packs more punch than many ten times the length but still: it’s just twenty-four pages. Why bother printing it? Why not just put it up online?
This is excellent.
