"The Folding Man (Based on the black car legend)".The action can be over the top and there can be some serious foul language.Wraparound dust jacket of limited edition by Vincent Chong Contents And you don’t have to censor yourself so much as when working in the film/TV industry. JUSSI: Like Joe said, you don’t really need to leave anything out because of budget restrictions. The talent of the artist and the space are all that’s needed. You don’t have to leave something out you want to put in because it will cost too much to make it work. But it’s unique in that in some ways, it’s closer to the source and you’re not restricted by an actor’s abilities, and though budget may cause some restrictions in comics, it’s of a different nature than films. JOE: It’s merely a different way of presenting a story, as is film and television. What do you get out of the graphic novel format that you can’t get from a novel (and vice versa)? It has been a really rewarding experience for me as a writer and as an artist. Joe gave me great tips and notes and Paul commented some art stuff here and there and kept the whole palette together during the process.

JUSSI: The Mucho Mojo graphic novel is a collaboration of us three. JOE: Jussi did the work, I saw it, and sometimes I commented through Paul or to Jussi by email, and he would develop ways to incorporate changes.

Jeez! The final look for her has the right amount of heart and toughness the character needs.ĭid the illustrations inspire the text, or vice versa? How does that collaboration process work? Believe it or not, at first I illustrated her to look like a horrible, mummified grandma. The only character I had some trouble with was MeMaw. After Savage Season, we already had the look of Hap and Leonard figured out. Just something that has not been seen in comics before-or not that often. And I really wanted the fight scenes to be brutal and crazy. A lot of bright colors to show the hot summer of East Texas. JUSSI: I already had the look of the graphic novel vividly in my mind when I started adapting the novel. How did the inspiration for the look of the graphic novel evolve? Art-wise, I really pushed myself to extremes during the creation state as this novel means so much to me and, from what I’ve heard, for the fans here in Finland and all over the globe as well. This is our second collaboration with the characters and with Mucho Mojo I was, to be honest, quite comfortable during the whole process.
