Tom Sniegoski Talks Herculoids, Vampirella, and Writing Horror Comics on Splash Pages

Описание: Join Splash Pages for an in-depth conversation with acclaimed comics and horror writer Tom Sniegoski, the creative mind behind acclaimed works like Vengeance of Vampirella, Young Hellboy, Bone (with Jeff Smith), and the new Herculoids series for Dynamite Comics. In this episode, Tom sits down with Leo, Carrie, and Drew to share stories from his decades-spanning career, offering a unique look at the comic industry from someone who’s written for nearly every major publisher.

Tom talks about how he got his start in comics, his memorable collaborations with horror and fantasy legend Christopher Golden, and the surprising way he returned to reshape the Vampirella universe after 25 years. Listeners will hear behind-the-scenes tales from working on cult favorites like Bone, what it’s like co-writing Batman for DC’s Elseworlds, and why Herculoids has always been his dream project. He reveals his creative process, how he balances writing novels with comics, and the challenges of crafting stories for mediums as diverse as video games and graphic novels.

You’ll also get a first look at his new projects, including upcoming issues of Herculoids, the dark horror novella Nera (with Janine Atchison), and the next chapter of his iconic work on Vampirella. Tom shares tips for aspiring writers, thoughts about the importance of great art and lettering in comics, and his honest take on the current state of the industry.
