The Beat chatted with Casey in regards to the upcoming quest.
DEANNA DESTITO: What attracted you to this challenge?
JOE CASEY: Nicely, apart from Dynamite backing the Brink’s truck as much as my home, I may see the connections between the 2 ideas, of their primary, artistic building. That lent itself to a sure form of crossover, so I figured I would as nicely do it earlier than another person beat me to it. So far as I do know, it’s by no means been completed earlier than. Not like this.
DESTITO: Have been you a fan of House Ghost and Jonny Quest?
CASEY: Certain, in as far as they each sprung from the minds of Doug Wildey and Alex Toth. These guys are comedian ebook royalty so the truth that they had been doing these animated collection was, traditionally, a giant deal. I wasn’t even born when these reveals premiered. I noticed them in reruns a few years afterwards. However they had been the closest that animation acquired to the true aesthetic of comedian ebook artwork. In case you had been a comic book ebook fan, as I used to be from an early age, you acknowledged that from the minute you noticed them in your TV display.
DESTITO: How does this slot in with Dynamite’s different House Ghost collection, if in any respect?
CASEY: I assume you possibly can take into account it an Occasion ebook. It’s not a conventional crossover between two ongoing titles. It’s basically it’s personal factor. That manner, we don’t intervene with what the common month-to-month House Ghost ebook is doing and so they don’t have to fret about what we’re doing.
DESTITO: How has it been working with this artistic group?
CASEY: Sebastian Piriz and I are already in sync, a well-oiled machine from engaged on the primary 5 problems with Jonny Quest. So we simply rolled into this collection with no issues in any respect, firing on all thrusters. In truth, nearly as good as Sebastian is drawing the Jonny Quest characters, his House Ghost is the most effective I’ve ever seen, simply on par with Alex Toth, Steve Impolite, and Alex Ross (my private favorites at depicting the character).
DESTITO: In case you may add one other cosmic character to this ebook, who would it not be and why?
CASEY: God, positively. I imply, that’s as cosmic because it will get, proper…?
DESTITO: Any teasers for followers?
CASEY: Solely that we’ve give you a narrative that honors each ideas equally, which isn’t at all times really easy to do once they come from such completely different milieus. However we occurred to faucet into one thing that may truly make your life higher. What extra may anybody ask for?
House Quest debuts on March 12.
