Interview: Caitlin Yarsky talks Living Hell - out July 15, 2025

1. Living Hell introduces readers to Jerome Jameel—a husband, father, and demon who has escaped Hell to start a new life on Earth. What inspired you to create a protagonist with such a complex duality?​

2. The series blends elements of humor, heart, and darkness, drawing comparisons to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Good Omens. How did you approach balancing these tones within the narrative?​

3. As both the writer and artist for Living Hell, how did your creative process evolve when developing the visual style to complement the story's supernatural themes?​

4. The concept of Hell as a prison where demons have lived in exile is intriguing. Can you elaborate on your interpretation of Hell and how it influences the characters' motivations?​

5. Jerome's encounter with a bounty hunter from Hell sets the plot in motion. Without giving too much away, what can readers expect from this confrontation and its impact on Jerome's new life?​

6. Living Hell is your creator-owned debut. What challenges and rewards have you experienced in bringing your own vision to life through this series?​

7. The series is described as a four-issue miniseries. How did you structure the storyline to ensure a satisfying arc within this format?​

8. (Fun/Silly Question!) If you were a demon escaping Hell to live incognito on Earth, what profession would you choose to blend in, and why?​
