UPDATE June 28th: Comic Heroes arrived today! Enjoyed Talbot and Ewing the most (my favorite art style in the comics they showed). Also liked The Playwriter preview. Not new, just looks fresh, again, with so much comic art looking alike today. RO Review? The writer has a right to his thoughts, but personally, I think people should get The Rainbow Orchid, themselves. It is well priced and also in a growing collection of libraries now, especially in the UK. And the easiest place to check out is right online at Rainbow Orchid! Be your own judge. As they said about RO, the artwork is glorious. The story maybe your 'cup of tea' too, but you won't know, until you find out for yourself.

Adventures of Julius Chancer Garen Ewing: Podcast interview about The Rainbow Orchid Host Linda Wada, Table Chat, ednapurviance.org Garen Ewing, the comic artist and creator of The Rainbow Orchid - the Adventures of Julius Chancer, graciously agreed to an audio interview with me (Linda Wada, researcher and founder of ednapurviance.org). I wholeheartedly thank Garen for a most enjoyable chat about his long awaited publication of The Rainbow Orchid. I first met Garen in the spring of 2001 and soon learned about the creation of The Rainbow Orchid. Set in the 1920s, The Rainbow Orchid features adventurous Julius Chancer and silent film star, Lily Lawrence, along with a strong supporting cast of characters including: the devious Evelyn Crow, historical researcher Sir Alfred Catesby-Grey, Lily's publicity agent Nathanial Crumpole, mysterious Urkaz Grope and leading gossip columnist and stirrer of trouble, William Pickle. All of them are involved on an adventure to find the mythical flower last mentioned by the ancient Greek philosopher and botanist, Theophrastus. Julius must find it to save the estate of Lily's father, Sir Lawrence. Drawn in the Franco-Belgian school of bande dessinée (a clear line style), the comic has great characters, a complex story and quality artwork. Garen's comic quickly became my favorite and I have been following the development of the story and project ever since. You never know for sure, but I always had faith it would be picked up by a publisher one day, and that day has finally arrived.
Garen gives his personal insight on drawing and the world of publishing, (with surprises intermixed). Garen's love of silent films does play a role in the creation of his comic. Garen's book features silent film star, Lily Lawrence, who Edna Purviance is her friend. We hope you will enjoy listening to his story, and maybe gain some valuable insights through his experience in creating his comic and entering the publishing world. This current file is the audio version of our interview. I now have a 12 minute video version at this link, with highlights from the interview. The Rainbow Orchid has been released from Egmont UK August 4th, 2009, starting with Volume 1. Volumes 2 and 3 will follow starting in 2010. It is available in the UK now, but can be bought directly from Garen at his online shop. So, settle back with a nice cup of tea, and enjoy my conversation with Rainbow Orchid creator Garen Ewing.
Interview: April 28, 2009 Launched: May 31, 2009 Book Available The Rainbow Orchid is being published by Egmont UK. It is available in the UK, Japan, Canada, France and Germany. In the USA, a collector edition is being looked into for the future. In the meantime, USA buyers can get it through Garen Ewing's Rainbow Orchid UK shop (where signed editions will be available after August 4th). Extra note: Two panels from part two of The Rainbow Orchid appeared in Comic Art Now (2008). Book by Dez Skinn & Mark Millar. About Table Chat host Linda Wada: Ednapurviance.org started in November 2001. Linda, as part of Leading Ladies, published the first book to feature Edna Purviance called The Sea Gull in 2008. The book was about Edna's starring role in the now lost Charlie Chaplin film production, which was directed by Josef von Sternberg. In the summer of 2006, Linda showed her first video interview with Lita Hill (Edna Purviance's grand niece) at Cinecon in Hollywood. Lita was our special guest at the event. In 2006, Leading Ladies also restored the re-discovered films featuring Edna Purviance in private life after her film career with Charlie Chaplin. Linda's interview with Garen Ewing is her first audio interview podcast. Garen has been a longtime supporter and the one I credit for inspiring me to start ednapurviance.org site in November 2001. We are very excited about the release and wish Garen all the very best with his publication. Update: Special thanks to Joe Gordon (and staff) at The Forbidden Planet International in the UK, for their link and appreciated comments sent to us about our interview. Garen did a very interesting and in-depth interview with Matt Badham several months ago, which can be read on FBI's blog. Also thanks to Steve Holland (Bear Alley) for linking to Garen's interview. Garen's other interviews can be found here on RO. Special thanks to everyone who have listened. Appreciate it if you pass on to others to learn about Garen's wonderful comic. Thank-you, everyone! - Linda Wada  |
