Interview: The Mare Seth Martel and Kendra Boileau (Publisher) Out now!

1. Seth, Kendra, thank you for being on the AIPT Comics podcast. What brought you to your current roles at Graphic Mundi?
2. Tell us a little bit about Graphic Mundi, what kind of graphic novels are you curating?
3. Seth, The Mare is out in bookstores on March 28th, writing and drawing, how long have you been working on this project?
4. Seth, have you struggled with sleep paralysis yourself? Your description is so close to things my sister has described.
5. Kendra, what has been the process like working on The Mare?
6. A lot of this story follows a lead character who feels like an outcast. “Bless your heart” is a line that kicked me in the gut early on. What’s the trick to writing characters who talk around what they mean vs direct characters?
7. Seth I love the use of the color blue particularly, was the project always meant to scale back the use of color?
8. Talk to us about the power of a good mixtape.
9. Kendra, I understand Graphic Mundi is tied to Penn State University, can you explain the relationship between the two?
10. Anything else you’d like to promote today?
