From the misty Canadian isle of Vancouver Island, returns the modern day renaissance-man of the comic book world. That’s right folks, he does it all.
Simon Roy, unknowingly, returns to the comic domain of the Blue Tiger, and he’s bringing multiple servings of fresh milk! We catch up and talk his latest projects, concepting, collaborating, channeling of Tim and Eric energies (“Great Job”), and the brutal kicks of classic Kung Fu cinema.
He’s rolling out a new sci-fi comedy, Griz Grobus! Currently being published through the Webtoon platform, it’s everything you want in a web-comic. Also it’s free to read, so check it now while it’s just starting to get rolling!
Maybe you missed the kickstarter campaign a while back? Well, you are in luck my fuzzy friend because the collected stories of “GRIP OF THE KOMBINAT” is coming to shelves this June.
We delved into the collaborative process of the mind melding between Simon and Damon Gentry as they plotted and manifested this bizarrely brilliant GN. Their secret ingredient?… (whispers) Classic Kung Fu films.
In the process, the duo, may have also created the greatest campaign video in the history of Kickstarter. Legends aren’t born, they’re made.
