Hi Curt, it’s so great to have you here with us.
Could you please introduce yourself to our readers?
I’m a writer, producer and creative that works in comics and tv / film as a producer and writer–but comics are my first love.
Can you tell us about the origins of Stillman?
I wanted to do something that featured elements of a family drama and a more elevated thriller concept. The idea of combining the hitman genre and sort of a double life family drama immediately was interesting to me. It is like The Sopranos, but instead of a mob thriller–it’s a hitman.
Who is Peter Stillman?
He is an Italian American immigrant, a Family man, and The greatest contract killer in American history.
What made Sunando C the right artist for Stillman?
Sunando just draws issue one. Other issues are drawn by Alex Diotto, Stefan Tosheff, and my Lost Fantasy Collaborator Luca Casalanguida is drawing issues 4 and 5. All talented, consummate professionals.
Stillman is your 8th Comixology Originals series; what is it about Comixology Originals that makes you want to publish your series with them?
They bet big on me early in my career and that means something to me. I like Jeff who runs Comixology as well. He is a straight shooter.
Any message for the ComicBuzz readers?
Check out Stillman when it launches via Comixology Originals on July 22nd. My hit multiple sellout series Lost Fantasy is also available in comic shops now, monthly, with the first TPB out in the fall.
We would like to say a big thank you to Curt for chatting with us and wish him the best of luck with Stillman.
