In Episode 112, it’s time for another instalment of our unofficial graphic novel book club — this time with Fatale by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips. We cover volumes 1 & 2 (with little sneak peeks at volumes 3–5) of this supernatural noir thriller from one of the most celebrated duos in graphic novels today.
Show Notes
Ed Brubaker has won a whopping 7 Eisner Awards for his work, which includes Batman, Catwoman, Winter Soldier, Criminal, Incognito, and Reckless among many others.
Sean Phillips’ son also works in graphic novels and has actually done some of the colouring for Phillips’ work.
We loved diving into all these different decades and getting a bit more of Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythology (even if we still can’t pronounce it).
For more graphic novel goodness, check out our episodes on Shade, the Changing Girl, The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, Fun Home , and Something is Killing the Children. And listen to our interviews with Stephanie Cooke, and with husband and wife duo Brenda Hickey and Troy Little of Pegamoose Press.
In our next episode we’ll be talking about Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin.
