Off Panel #244: Crunch Time with Sanford Greene

Author: SKTCHD February 24, 2020 Duration: 1:16:59

In this week's episode of Off Panel, artist Sanford Greene returns to the show to chat about what's going on in the world of Bitter Root. Greene discusses how the first arc went, how cons have changed after the launch of the book, whether the movie deal changes things for them, the gap between arcs, what the new arc of Bitter Root is all about, how the team works together, their new editor and colorist, why they did the Blood Red Summer special, the expandability of their universe, their homage variants, and more, before we close with some NBA talk about the recent All Star Game, Kobe Bryant, his all-time crunch time squad, and more.


Each week on Off Panel: A Comics Interview Podcast, host David Harper of SKTCHD sits down for a conversation that goes deeper than the usual press cycle. This isn't just about promoting the latest project; it's about understanding the people and the processes that shape the comic book industry. You'll hear from writers, artists, editors, and other key figures in a way that reveals the personal journeys, creative struggles, and collaborative triumphs behind the pages we love. The discussions are thoughtful and meandering, often touching on craft, industry shifts, and the simple love of the medium itself. By focusing on the human stories, this podcast builds a more complete picture of comics culture, from the indie scene to the major publishers. It's for anyone who has ever finished a great comic and immediately wondered about the minds that built it. New episodes arrive weekly, offering a consistent and engaging look into this vibrant world. For more, you can find David Harper and SKTCHD across various social platforms.
