Kyle Strahm Interview
Multiversitycomics.com asked:
Kyle, your art is pretty visceral and evocative from what I’ve seen. Where did you get your start in art?
KS: As a wee babe I would watch cartoons, design action figures and make up comic book characters. I was into Ghostbusters and He-Man. I liked the Ninja Turtles, but mostly the characters who were made of trash or who were disfigured people. There were a lot of guys in my notebooks with hammers or buzz saws where their arms and legs should be.
I broke into comics working on a book called We Will Bury You with Brea Grant and Zane Grant. It was about zombies in the 1920s and there was a lot of room to have fun. After that, I did odds and ends including guest spots on Hack/Slash and Haunt at Image. It was very cool working along-side Nathan Fox and Tim Seeley.
