I’d like to touch on the comic book you wrote; you’re really a powerhouse of creativity.
I like to keep busy. It’s called Orchid, it comes out in October on Dark Horse Comics. I wanted to create an epic story that has the scale of Lord Of The Rings or Star Wars, but it was fused with class consciousness, something that I found missing from those tales of kings and princesses. It’s the story of a 16-year-old street prostitute who becomes the Spartacus of whores. It takes place in the future when humans are no longer at the top of the food chain. One unique element of it is that I am doing the soundtrack for each issue of the comic. You get the comic book and you get free musical score that comes along with it.
