Eric Grissom and Will Perkins talk Goblin: The Wolf and the Well

The wait is over, it's been a long time coming but I have returning guests Eric Grissom and Will Perkins back on the show with me today to talk about the next volume of their middle grade fantasy series Goblin: The Wolf and the Well from Dark Horse Comics. Goblin was my nominee way back when for Exceptional Kids Comic or Graphic Novel on our first annual Comic Book Yeti Ice (Indy Comics Excellence) Awards show and I was wondering how the duo would craft a follow up to what is one of my favorite fantasy comics ever, turns out, smashed it. The second installment finds our young goblin friend Rikt out of the wilds and in school alongside his trusty wolf companion Fishbreath. This is one you don't want to miss no matter how old you are. Get all the latest at realmofgoblin.com. From the publisher What would you sacrifice to protect the one you love? One dark and stormy night, Rikt meets a mysterious fortune teller in the woods. When she foresees his best friend, a wolf named Fish-breath, in mortal danger, he is overcome with a fear of losing her. When an opportunity to protect her presents itself, Rikt trades the freedom of the wild for the protection of Underwood—an orphanage for monster children and a sanctuary for wolves. Was his bargain worth the price? And what fate awaits the children who live there? Uncover the mystery in the thrilling sequel to Goblin. Our episode sponsors After the Realm Don't miss Eisner and Harvey award winning comics creator Michael Avon Oeming's newest crowdfunding project After The Realm.
