Interview: Declan Shalvey - Old Dog out Sept 28 

1. Thanks for being on the AIPT Comics podcast, for folks looking at getting into Old Dog, can you give us the elevator pitch?
2. Old Dog deals with espionage, but there’s a sci-fi layer to this book as well. For a general audience, will a James Bond fan enjoy Old Dog, or maybe even a Terminator fan?
3. Given you’re writing, drawing, and coloring, have you ever found yourself mad at YOURSELF, say for a choice that required more work coloring, penciling, etc?
4. You’re a one man army on this book, minus Clayton Cowles’ exceptional lettering! How’s that collaboration going, and what led to the decision to delegate that?
5. I’ve seen you mention Heather Antos’ involvement with Old Dog, what is it like working with Heather on this project and in general?
6. I’m tiptoeing around spoilers here, but Jack has a new partner at the close of the issue. How will their relationship change the tone of the story going forward?
7. In the perfect world, how many issues is in the Old Dog omnibus?
8. Declan you’re a busy guy, do you have other projects you’d like to talk about today?
