January 10, 2013, I had the great pleasure of continuing my interview with author and creator of The Rainbow Orchid, Garen Ewing.
In my first interview with Garen Ewing in April 2009, Garen was just a few weeks away from seeing his first printed book (Volume One) from Egmont UK. During that interview, we covered the background history of The Rainbow Orchid and how Garen started working in comics.
In this January 2013 interview, we start off where we left off, with the completion of The Complete Rainbow Orchid.
Included in this conversation, we talk about finishing the book, promoting it, foreign editions, special research projects, comic workshops and the future of this book and Julius Chancer.
This January 2013 interview is 1 hour and 9 minutes. You can pause at any point. So grab your favorite beverage and have a listen I hope you enjoy our chat, as much as I have.
Many thanks again to Garen, for sharing his valuable time with us.
Also, here is a link to my first interview with Garen Ewing on April 28, 2009 (1 hour and 15 minutes).
