Scott Allie plugs Witch Doctor on Comic Book Resources!
January 6th, 2009Comic Book Resources posted an interview with Scott Allie, Senior Managing Editor at Dark Horse Comics and architect of books like Hellboy, The Umbrella Academy, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. And, much to our surprise, he spent an entire paragraph praising Lukas!
“One guy I’m real excited about is Lukas Ketner. He does a book called Witch Doctor with Brandon Seifert. It’s a great book, and they have a lot of talent.” Ketner’s “Creepy” short story, “Om Nom Nom,” appeared in the November issue of “MySpace Dark Horse Presents.” “Lukas interned at Dark Horse a long time ago, and I don’t think I ever talked to him. Then one of the editors sent around a link to his new work, and I loved it at first sight. He’s got a fantastic horror style in the vein of Wrightson, Ingels and Powell.”
How awesome is that?
Scott’s been a supporter of Witch Doctor since the weekend the book debuted at the Stumptown Comics Festival, when we were in the running to do a story on MySpace Dark Horse Presents. We didn’t get the story then, but it’s what led to Lukas’ MSDHP story in November, and Scott gave us some absolutely dynamite tips about telling successful genre fiction that he learned from people like Mike Mignola, Eric Powell and Joss Whedon (our collective idols)!
So, thanks again Scott!
