Interview with a Buffy-Comic-artist
Jeff Parker, the “face” behind the Dark Horse`s comic “Tales of the vampires” about the work with Jane Espenson, Scott Allie and his future in the Buffyverse. |
Mike Jozik had the opportunity to talk to Jeff Parker about his experiences on the project (Dark Horse's Tales of the Vampires mini-series), working with the writer Jane Espenson and what`s next for his own character, “The Interman”.
M: So, give me the scoop on how you got roped into doing the artwork for a Jane Espenson vampire story?
J: Editor Scott Allie kept mentioning in a vague way that he had something that I should draw, and then finally told me about the story- when he got good and ready! In working with the Buffy/Angel writers he's very sensitive to how they want to see their stories done, and he gave Jane the link to my website so she could poke around and get a sense of my work. Once Jane gave me the thumbs up, I got crackin'.
M: Were you a fan of the show (Buffy the vampire slayer) and/or Jane's work prior to "Dust Bowl"?
J: It's funny, for years I didn't watch Buffy even though all my friends, even non-comics people, loved it… FX had just started rerunning all the previous seasons of the show, so my big break time became the block when they showed two episodes back to back. Buffy became very important to my sanity! Later I realized Jane had written many of my favorite episodes…..
M: Are you hoping to do more Buffy work in the future or was this pretty much a one-shot gig for you?
J: I hadn't planned on it, but to get back to your previous question, I'd enjoy doing something based around Giles. If they ever decided to do a Ripper comic, I could get into that.
M: No kidding. Let's hope Scott Allie is reading this and knock on wood.......
