Creator Chit Chat: Michael Dialynas on Zawa

This week Joe and Mighty Lee's Comics talk with one of their favourite creators, Michael Dialynas, about his new comic, Zawa + The Belly of the Beast, published by Boom! Studios. Zawa + The Belly of the Beast #1 is out now, so go check it out at your local comic store if you're interested! It's written, drawn, colored and lettered by Dialynas. The synopsis for the issue is as follows: "Trapped inside her mountain by pollution-spewing factories, the guardian spirit Zawa only has industrial waste to eat, leading her to a bitter existence of paranoia and destruction. But when two siblings from a nearby village help her escape, they'll quickly learn that the way to calming Zawa's heart is through a well nourished stomach! GLAAD Award-winning and Eisner Award-nominated cartoonist Michael Dialynas (Wynd, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) crafts a charmingly macabre eco-fable about nature, greed, the dangers of retribution, and good food shared among friends." If you read the first issue and enjoy it, make sure to ask your local comic store to pre-order the rest of the series for you as they are essential to the success of a comic like this.
