'Bitter Root' Deep Dive with artist Sanford Greene! | Creannotators #5

Описание: This week on Creannotators, I talked with artist Sanford Greene about the Eisner nominated Bitter Root!

On Comic Book Herald's ‘Creannotators’ I'll be interviewing some of my favorite creators in comics about specific runs, graphic novels or series, looking for their insights on the inspirations behind the work and ideas or hidden material readers may have missed. Creannotators is an audio/visual annotative guide to enjoying the intricacies and thinking in the art. Thanks for listening, and enjoy the comics!

Bitter Root is one of my favorite ongoing comics of the last couple years, and a current Eisner nominated work for best continuing series of 2020. Greene, David F. Walker, Chuck Brown and team are telling the story of a black family of monster hunters in 1920's Harlem, quite literally fighting racism and the depths of man's hate, while trying to carve out hope for a future.

I talked with Greene about how work on Marvel's Power Man & Iron Fist with David F. Walker led to Bitter Root, and a wide variety of topics including the complicated process of how the artist designs hate and fear manifesting in literal monsters, firstly seen via out-and-out racism, and later in the text through a more complicated legacy of generational trauma.
