the first issue was hugely charming and the art is so cute - it’s obviously aimed at a younger demographic than me, but it’s really fun and sweet with a lady protag! a lady mixed-race protag, at that. best of all, the first issue is currently FREE on comixology!

This is what happens when…
…I do so many interviews in one week that I start trying to entertain myself through the answers.
“RCB: Just to give our readers a feel for who you are, could you tell us about the first comic you ever read, what made you decide to work in comics, and what the first comic you ever worked on was?
PAT SHAND: I’m the seventh son of a seventh son, born under a blood-red moon on a night when cats sang and birds meowed. Or, I’m a bearded ginger who writes funnybooks.”
The interview really does give a LOT of information about the upcoming Robyn Hood sequel I’m writing, ROBYN HOOD: WANTED. Check out the whole thing right hurr.
