Read Fanbase Press' new interview with writer Shannon Eric Denton and artist David Hartman discussing all things Kraken, the upcoming cosmic horror graphic novel from Monster Forge Productions and Titan Comics! Enjoy excerpts from the interview below:
Barbra Dillon, Fanbase Press Editor-in-Chief: Congratulations on the upcoming release of Kraken! For those who may be unfamiliar, how would you describe the story’s premise?
Shannon Eric Denton: It’s a classic pulp-hero-story, but, like Indiana Jones, it definitively leans into the supernatural and the monstrous. Our hero, Dale Watters (a.k.a. Kraken), is lost in a dark dimension, and it takes him three years to find his way home. Our story opens with his return and absolute monstrous desire to stop what he saw on the other side from bleeding over into our world. The Kraken and his team are determined to stop an evil sorceress from unleashing a horde of eldritch monsters upon us all. Plus, he punches a LOT of Nazis along the way.
David Hartman: Kraken is steeped in classic pulp, where fearless heroes face down unspeakable horrors in classic two-fisted action. Where the only thing standing between our world and utter oblivion is a man who has seen the abyss, survived its nightmares, and clawed his way back, not to rest, but to fight!
BD: Lastly, what is the best way for our readers to pre-order a copy of Kraken and to learn more about your work?
SED: Aside from walking into your local comics shop and asking them to pre-order it for you (my favorite method – Use ISBN 9781787745360.), I’d follow Titan Comics, MonsterForgeProductions.com, as well as look at the links off the Penguin Random House site.
DH: All that Shannon mentioned, as well as follow us on socials, where we’ll be posting updates. You can follow myself and see more of my art (@davidhartmanart) on Instagram or my website at Sideshowmonkey.com.
