Debuting comic writer blends murder, magic, and deeply human characters

Writer Helen Mullane and I take a look at her debut comic, “Nicnevin and the Bloody Queen.” In this story, a modern-day druid has been committing a series of ghastly murders in an attempt to unleash the awesome power of the ancient gods of Great Britain. But then he meets his latest would-be victim, rebellious teen Nicnevin “Nissy” Oswald, and that's when things get really interesting.

 

Helen and I talk about what it was like working on her first comic and what got her to this point, as well as the amazing team she worked with and the advice they had for her.
