Chatting with Bloody Disgusting’s The Boo Crew Podcast this week about everything from The Evil Dead to brand new horror-comedy Black Friday, horror icon Bruce Campbell let it slip that one of his next projects will take him into the world of comic books… as a writer!
“I’m writing a comic book for a major comic book company right now,” Campbell teased while talking with The Boo Crew about his writing process. “And it’s six issues that you’ve gotta plot out. And I cannot just sit there with a pen in my mouth… looking at a blank page… I want to figure it out scene by scene and know where the story’s going.”
He continues, “Cause I can actually step back from that board and look at the entire story and go, ‘Hmm, that first part’s a little lopsided… ohh that middle’s a little fat over there.’ So you can get to it before you even write a word. It still may suck, granted, but I like going in with some kind of discipline. I’ll start early in the morning and by noon my brain is leaking out through my nose and it’s time to cut the grass or go swimming or something physical.”
