Cemetery Beach: A SDCC Interview with Jason Howard

Posted on by

Tim Midura had a chance to interview artist Jason Howard about his new project with Warren Ellis.  Here’s a tidbit…

Tim: Warren Ellis described Cemetery Beach as a relentless action book..

Jason: It starts with the idea of what this world is. In the story of Cemetery Beach, kind of the setup is that back in the 1920s/1930s, scientists found this exoplanet they thought could support life. So they built a rocketship with 1920s-era tech, sextants and all this stuff. They sent a group to colonize this planet. The plans and everything were lost to history. Everyone ended up dead or whatever. 100 years later we uncover this warehouse full of all the plans and we realize we sent that ship and nobody knows what happened. So they send a recon guy to look into it and see if they survived and report back. That’s kind of where the story starts. This guy ends up on the planet and the colony has survived but things are a little insane. It’s been 100 years.
